3D printed spindle

My school has a tech den with quite a lot of 3D printing resources. I took advantage of them as part of an assignment for my pedagogy class and printed myself an ancient style spindle.

The whorl is based on this scanned ancient Etruscan whorl on Sketchfab

I evened out the hole and also ended up making the whorl a bit more circular so that it would be more balanced. Then I added a shaft (all on tinkercad). I had them print the whorl out of a faux metal material so that it would be a bit heavier than the standard polymer, and it ended up working out great. She spins really beautifully. If anybody is interested in my final 3D files, let me know and I can get them to you.
