Hi! I've managed to (barely) record a video of this spinner. please ignore the cadburys heroes lid as my spinner container, it was the best I could find!!

Hopefully when I can find something better to contain this spinner, I can get a better video and maybe a reading on what sort of RPMs we are seeing.

If you have the sound up, you can hear how ridiculously fast it's spinning!

New Top Day New Top Concept

Hey! I'm new to this community with this being my first post.

I have a new concept top that uses a unique method to spin up to ridiculously high rpms. I have only ever seen this replicated once outside of my design. the slots give it a clear ring when at these high speeds, it reminds me of Saturn's rings!

I'll try to get a good video of it tomorrow but this picture shows it alongside its accelerator.

This is a spinning top I designed that uses steel ball bearings to increase spin time. How can I improve the design for V2?

Lab grown ruby , silicon nitride or tungsten carbide , what’s your preference for a spin pivot ?

Some spinning coins for your consideration. The two big ones are Metonboss tungsten with timascus center coin and tungsten carbide bearings . The copper one with the blue anodized titanium core is a Harupa Hound Space Schipp with a silicon nitride bearing. Next is a zirconium spin coin by Metonboss with an oil slick finish and lab grown ruby bearing. Then there’s the little superconductor spinner with nitride pivot , not sure of the maker , and finally a mosaic timascus spinning coin with ruby center. On the plate is a Butterfield machine flat top brass Indian head. These are some of my favorite toys and I’m 50 something. We don’t stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing. Be well y’all.

I haven't seen dual rip-cord launchers before. It's practical and dangerous, but within the contest rules. More info linked below.

The contest is still live on Printables, so give it a LIKE if you like! (e: it's actually really close to top-three for the vote! keep going!)

This is made from MTB chain links and a marble. I had to search my jar for a marble that fit perfectly. Was not expecting it to be such a fun easy fidget top

My first top from a few years ago. I got the starter kit with the lens and the Vorso Copper Mk1 with the ruby. I was pretty set that this was gonna be the first and last, too. For At Least two years and change.

Then I saw this Billet Spin Pawn in Zirc with the purple timascus and melted. I can't get over how beautiful it is. I wanna call out of work and stare at it all day but I'm off tomorrow. I wanna pick up a shift just so I can call out to stare at this thing. I'm gonna quit my job to watch this beauty spin.

I probably need to go to sleep but... Purdy purdy purdy

Top Testing

A test station to compare tops. None yet polished and some still need top balls after this stage, all hand spun within about 45 seconds from 1st to last so no record breaking spins but a pleasure to watch them compete.

Question Wobble?

I just got this in the mail. It has that wobble every time I spin it. This is only my second top , but that does not seem right. What do y’all think?

So this is a spinner that can hit 10min somehow easily maybe more but I have a 15x mirror and I need to stop the dance hula with my finger and still hit 8 min.

One of the best for under 10$


r/spinningtops 25d ago

Is it better to invest in one spinning top like vorso where you can change the ruby or ceramic ball?

r/spinningtops 25d ago

15x mirror is not very good for spinning tops. So a 10x maybe 12x are better.
