Don’t mind all the yoyo halves. They didn’t turn out well.

The counterweight has a screw together design with a bearing inside.

here’s an older design of the same idea, without the threads and separate cap:

What weird counterweights would you like to see?

Maybe im too old lol. But if somehow this was turned into a counterweight, that would be pretty nostalgic

If you 3d print a mini bumbel ball counterweight I will start 5A. I will also use your yoyo
