Spinning Top - Improved version for 1:20 minutes (or even more)

Description

Remix of Nick Groot excellent design to improve the performance for the Spinning Top. I really like his spinning top, but when playing with it I noticed it was generating a lot of wind right under it -you could easily notice it if you spin it in a dish and you put your hands inside the dish. Then I noticed those 6 supports were acting as blades and pushing a lot of air -which reduced its performance. I remixed his design by adding flat supports (1mm). Then printed it and immediately noticed a 40% performance improvement. Before I could make 57 seconds and hardly reached 1 minute. Now on the first spin I did 1:20 minutes, then I did a bit more so this change definitely improved performance. Both of the spinning tops were printed at 100% of infill.
