This top is more for adults than kids. It looks great and is easy to spin, but it only spins for about 10 seconds. I love sitting back and spinning it over and over. If you're looking for a top that spins longer, check out one of my other tops, like my Counterswirl Top Gen 2 or my Ultimate Open Lattice Top (8 Point Pattern).

I recommend printing the top as 2 pieces, then gluing it together with super glue. However, people usually ask for it, so I've included an STL of the top as a single piece.

This design is small and detailed, so I recommend printing it at no more than 0.15mm layer height. I printed at 0.1mm. Print it solid. I tried using varying wall thickness to lighten the top. It only cut 1.5 grams from the weight, it didn't print as well, and it had no appreciable impact on how the top spun. 

I've included my PrusaSlicer 3MF file and GCODE for an MK3S+. There's a line of GCODE at 18.5mm to reduce the print head temp to 180C. If your filament won't print that cool, you'll need to remove or edit that code.
