We have used Tinkercad to design a colorful spinning top.

This top will fit on the junk unused CD (Compact Disk). CD's outer diameter is 12cm & inner hole is 1.4cm. So we designed a web using Tinkercad. This web is having 14 concentric circles with 1mm thickness & having 3mm gap in between adjacent circles. These circles are connected to each other with 20 lines. Due to this small compartments are created.
