Toupie Bic

Push a spent Bic pen through this ribbed disc and watch it spin into a genuine desk toy.

Meet the little toy that turns a dead pen into a desk spinning obsession. This 3D printed disc is shaped like a tiny scalloped shell or a paper parasol caught mid spin, with dozens of fine ribs radiating out from a central socket. Slide it onto a spent Bic pen or pencil and you have instantly built yourself a proper spinning top. It is printed in PLA+ with a raw, straight off the printer finish, so every one of those fine pleats stays sharp and defined. The disc is deliberately light, which means once you flick it, it holds its spin far longer than you would expect from something this small, balancing beautifully on the pen's own tip. Designed by Cornichon Design, it is a clever bit of upcycling: rather than binning a pen once the ink runs dry, you give it a second life as a fidget toy. It is a fun one for kids, students, teachers with a drawer full of dead biros, or anyone who fidgets at their desk. Made to order with a quick one to two day turnaround, ready to spin as soon as it lands. Pick a colour that suits your desk, and turn your next empty Bic into something worth keeping.
