Inspired by nature, this spinning top makes for a fun toy.
Assembly required! Three parts must be assembled assembled: bottom, top and coupler.
--About the bottom piece:--
It's partially hollow to distribute weight appropriately to improve its spin. Has a small hexagonal hole at the bottom for assembly purposes.
Print time: ~1hr40min
100% infill (recommended)
0.25 layer height
No support
--About the top piece:--
Small,curved and with a peg for spinning. Has a small hexagonal hole at the bottom for assembly purposes.
Print time: ~28min
10% infill (to have a low center of mass)
0.25 layer height
No support
--About the coupler:--
A hexagonal standoff that joins the two pieces by press fit. Recommended to place this piece between the two parts and press these together.
Print time: ~1min
20% infill
0.25 layer height

Future edit: make acorn texture on top. Can you do it?
Section view of bottom piece. Mass is concentrated at the bottom and center for increased stability and angular velocity.
