That’s what I plan to do 100% but I’m trying to remind myself most folks probably don’t have a 3d printer lol. ---

Ooh, if plastic butterfly caps fit, that could work really well. It’s definitely too light now though. I love the idea of 3D printed caps too. Definitely tag me if you give that a go, @Captrogers ---

Fat rubber o-rings make good weight rings. 3/16 to 1/4 in. rubber o-rings are available at most any hardware store. Brings the yoyo and see what fits snugly in the cup. ---

@YoYoExpertGarrett did also back after 2019 worlds > [@Worlds 2019 Haul Pics](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/worlds-2019-haul-pics/306925/3): > > Got a shirt and some strings too, but don’t have them with me. I got curious and took the caps off my Butterfly AL, pretty fun 46g yo-yo now lol. I just wish it was the same diameter as standard Duncan caps so I could throw in the big fun fingerspin caps… ---

Lovely so I can print something or find some o rings to fit it. Thank you. Time to get my calipers out and scale a weight ring to size ---

I’ve wondered how this plays like this. That silver one sure looks great with the caps off. ---

I didn’t really like how it played without them. I might try to find some orings for it though, to split the difference. Also worth noting, I got a second one of these recently, and it does _not_ have those pinholes under the axle. So in one of them, the machining must have been adjusted just a hair? 🤷‍♂️ [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/butterfly-al-caps/392377.md?page=1)
