Description

I was discussing gyroscopic forces and angular momentum with my two boys (7 and 9). I wanted to give them a cool demonstration, and give them a toy with which they can experiment to help grasp the concept. So we sat down together and designed this. They have been having fun with it all afternoon, and I will admit... so have I. Here is a video of it in action: https://youtu.be/dK1gNuUYlB8 I have included the STL's, and other CAD formats (naitive Solidworks 2018, STEP, X_T, Fusion360 import). Feel free to modify, remix, etc. Have fun.

printing one as we speak. just printed the center part. you said 3 nuts will fit in the holes. but its possible to fit a stack of 3 m8 nuts wit a m8/25mm bolt inside greatly increasing the total weight mass

Fyi I updated the 3mm bolt description to 45mm. I had mistakenly said it was 40mm in the earlier description.
