It's everyone's favorite Seleucid-era* toy, just in time for Hannukah! You know the drill: print it out, get some friends together, and battle it out for the future of humankind on this planet**!

Whats the trick for a post? Have you found anything in particular to get it to spin well?
Good thing!
I scaled it down slightly to use 3mm ABS filament for the handle. Had to enhance the embossing slightly to keep it visible. My MakerBot had a poor time with the cone tip (got melty). Foolishly I gave it away before taking a picture, but I'll see if I can get one.

Instructions
The dreidel was created in openscad; the script and DXF sources are included.
Print and attach a handle. The hole in the dreidel is sized for an M5 bolt. You may have better results printing out a separate handle, using a dowel, or setting the infill higher than I did; the bolt makes it a little topheavy. Other than that, it spins pretty well!
