Plus-Plus beyblade/spinning top instructions

A fun project with Plus-Plus blocks is to make your very own beyblade/spinning top. There are many ways to do this and in this post I will give you some instructions on how to make your own. Making a Plus-Plus spinner is easy and rewarding and you can spend a lot of time trying to improve the design. You can also use Plus-Plus of any size (mini or big).

Here is a short video, so you know what a Plus-Plus spinner looks like:

How to make a good Plus-Plus beyblade?

One thing you should know is that a wider spinner will typically spin for a longer period of time while the small ones will spin very briefly. By making a really wide beyblade spinner you can make it spin for a minute or maybe even more.

Another very important thing to make a good spinner is to make sure the point of contact with the floor is as little as possible. If the edges hit the floor it will slow down the spinner.

Last tip, make sure it’s stable. You want the spinner to have equal weight on both sides. If one side is heavier then it will spin out of control.

Plus-Plus spinner colors

I really like mini Plus-Plus neon for my spinners. They really shine for this kind of builds. However they are by no means necessary, so use what you have.

The Classic Plus-Plus spinner

I would say this is the most common Plus-Plus spinner to see, but for good reasons. First it’s easy and fast to make and secondly you can make it very wide if you want.

Try to make the spinner wider than I did in this video and see what happens.

If you like the classic spinner build then try my variation called The Spider.

The Thunderbolt Plus-Plus spinner

I’m very proud I got to name this Plus-Plus spinner myself. It’s an original spinner build never seen before and it was made by my brother. Really awesome stuff. Try to make it and give it a spin!

The Boulder Plus-Plus spinner

Another common Plus-Plus spinner design. It’s a bit tricky to make the first time, but after that you can probably make a ton of them without needing a tutorial. This one does not have a name as far as I know, so I decided to give it one (inspired by The Boulder from Avatar the Last Airbender).

It seems to me that this spinner is a bit out of control when you spin it, but give it a try!

If you like it then try this variation with wings called the Throwing Star.

What now?

Here are some things you can try.

• Test which spinner is best and last longest
• Try different colors and make a really cool spinner
• Improve one of the designs or make your own
