PLEASE read entire discription before printing This is a gyroscope that I designed myself. This is super fun to play with, while also demonstrating some cool physics principles. PRINTING AND ASSEMBLE:Printing is pretty straightforward. You will absolutely need supports, use the settings in the 3MF file and they come off pretty easy. I recommend using PETG for the flywheel. I found that with PLA, if you will the string really hard spinning the flywheel, sometimes the PLA can snap. PETG is a bit more tough and will resist that. First thing to assemble will me to glue the 2 halfs of the flywheel together. This will use the BIG pins. I used loctite superglue, but any superglue should work. DON'T use hotglue in that it is really hard to get the parts to smoosh perfectly together. If there is a gap, then it might not go together correctly (Basically, just use superglue and you'll be fine).Here is a link to the glue that I used.https://a.co/d/123JqNC Next, push in the bearings into th
