Custom 3D-printed Beyblade

TypePersonal project
Dates2024

I reverse-engineered real Beyblades and their launchers, redesigned for better aerodynamics and spin duration, and printed the result until it beat the originals in spin-speed testing.

The design was the quick part. The week that actually mattered went into printer and slicer tolerances on an Ender 3 Pro. The interlocking parts are small enough that a tenth of a millimeter decides whether the assembly snaps together or spins apart, and no amount of CAD fixes a first layer that is squashed.
