Lambda Top: Rip Kit

Get the most out of your Lambda Whoever said "cheaters never prosper" never string-launched a precision top.  The Rip Kit can only be used with "hollow spindle" Lambda tops.  One of those "someday" projects finally coming to fruition. The problem with scheduling machine time...there isn't any. I finally realized our Markforged 3D printer was the perfect tool to get the Rip Kit into production. This is a string launch kit that "may" let you achieve longer and/or more consistent spins with less difficulty than hand-spinning. However, I've found there seems to be an aerodynamic limit where going above a certain speed will NOT result in longer spins. It should be pretty easy to achieve 8+ minutes with the Rip Kit. 8-10 minutes is about the limit for a Solid Lambda Top and 10-12 minutes for a two-piece top, regardless of how fast you spin them. Your mileage may vary.  The Kit includes the Rip Handle, string, and bead (no top or spin surface).  The inspiration Like everyone, I chase long sp
