Sculptural Spinning Top with Sunflower

( this is a Digital Sculpture for 3D printing. I also offer a real-made product in my Etsy Shop )

The Story…

I have long had the idea to create something special, in a mystical style ...something that would have a certain symbolic meaning, and at the same time, evoked warm bright memories from childhood…

It was supposed to be some kind of decorative thing that was nice and interesting to hold in your hands, or to have as a decorative item in your interior.

After some thought, my idea was formed into a Decorative Top, with magical symbols and patterns…

As a basis, I decided to take the Sunflower, which in different nations has long been associated with the image of the Sun, light, prosperity, strength and well-being.Also, it is believed that it has the ability to discharge negative energy.

On the other side, I made a stylized pattern similar to Thistle, which is believed to have magical powers and is able to drive evil spirits away from home.

So it turned out to be a very interesting and unique thing, conceived as a decorative element of the interior …but made with the quality of jewelry.

This is my exclusive author's work.

You can find video examples on my YouTube Channel and a real-made product on my Etsy Shop

3D-PRINTING

This 3D model is very easy to 3D print and does not need Supports (if you will use a divided 3D model)

*** For your convenience, I've included in the archive both a solid 3D model of the Sunflower Spinning Top, as well as divided into upper and lower parts, which is recommended for use in 3D printing.

The preview images include photos of a 3D-printed sculpture I made myself and offering in my Etsy Shop.

Feel free to go with whatever style or finish feels right to you! :)
