Stars and Stripes Top

A spinning toy top designed from scratch around a star theme so that it could be printed in multiple colors to resemble the American flag.

Not for commercial use. Please see license agreement.

The top is one piece. Details on which layers to print which color are included in the instructions.

The top is available with and without built-in supports. I have always printed it with the supports.
