I was doing a very simple mod for a user here on the boards. All I was supposed to do was widen the already existing silicone recess and remove the sticker lip. Easy peasy, right? Well, on the very last cut, my bit decided it REALLY liked pink FHZs and wanted to take a bigger bite! The bit ‘bit’ into the yoyo hard enough to dislodge it from the chuck! Here was the result:
Needless to say I was sick after seeing this! I found a seller on another board selling a NIP D=L FHZ (thanks for the tip cyclontzy!) and bought it to replace my screw up.
Well, now it seems I am the owner of a screwed up D=L FHZ! What to do, what to do? Oh, I know!
I decided to recess Born Crucial spacers in. Here’s a pic of the ‘damaged’ side after the recessing:
I love that fix. I normally cut the damaged area out and epoxy it. Then cut the new spacer area and new silicone groove. Works like a charm. This is mo betta though.
The spacers and bearing cost $7 before shipping instead of 19. Course it’s a Yomega" sized bearing, not a standard- but a cheap way to do a similar mod yes?
