I tied scaling down the original version, but the nut just welded to the screw.

Printed one, doesn't spin freely enough to drop like in the video but still a cool toy nonetheless.

Maybe you need to tune your printer.  There are some experts here that can help you with that (all, yes I know Lawsy rules on getting the max from your SD lol ).

Seriously, while doing some tests on how to assemble 3D printed parts I did an extra big "gravity Screw"

Tell her you would like to make more but are running low on filament wink  My wife went to MakerGeeks and ordered me another roll.

Cool design, thanks.

A friend printed it out on his cube and did a video too.  I thought I'd share:
