3D Print Your Own Gyroscope
A gyroscope is both a fun toy and a great tool for exploring a myriad of math and science concepts (i.e. concentric circles, proportional increase, angular momentum, navigation). Design and 3D print your own gyroscope using this step-by-step tutorial. You will develop a fundamental understanding of how gyroscopes work while improving your 3D design skills. You can make your gyroscope a circle, a star or any shape you wish!
