Magic Swirly Wand by topkara

Fun to play with and makes a great party favor. Small parts. Children 5+ might have fun assembling from parts.
See in action making a bubble, a flower
Easily customize the looks by printing your own designs on the transparency film.
Fun to make too. I had to use all my maker arsenal, 1) UP Plus 3D printer, 2) Silhouette Cutter, 3) HP Color Laserjet printer.
Combined different materials: 1) Laser Transparency Film for strips, 2) Wooden Dowels for the stick, 3) Straws for the spacer, 4) Glue for putting things together, and of course 5) ABS Filament for joiners.
Toy stores have them for about $3 in different names like spin stick, spindle spinner, magic bubble wand, etc. Clearly, it is cheaper to buy, but more fun to make.
