A Paper Gyroscope that works!

Here is a paper gyroscope that I made to being able to be printed off a computer. The prototype is now torn apart (used to make the template) but it was build again. So here is most of the instructable!

Step 1: Supplies

Here are the supplies

Hands
Paper template (Or really thick paper, but most printers can't hand that)
Thick paper (Thicker than your usual construction paper)
Scissors
Glue (tacky glue works best)
Paperclip (Not with the plastic stuff on it)
Pliers

I wish i did it before, my dog was acting stupid and she sat on it, it must have fallen off my desk, it is really wobbly.
When i make a new one, the old one is broken and it wont work anymore, I will try to make a video

Just saying, I don't think that just saying refer to the pictures for most of the steps is that useful.

The Thingiverse comments you wrote were more useful.
