Surprisingly easy to make! This was the first counterweight I ever made or used and I know basically nothing about 5a but I noticed that when the counter hangs at the end of the string, like to get rid of string tension, it will stop spinning but then when I check it, the tension keeps being like three wraps loose from neutral.
I definitely missed the perfect middle of the dice so the weight is not balanced. Is the weight imbalance what’s causing that? Is this some other 5a thing? Thanks y’all! This post made me think “huh I should try that” so I did and then as soon as I tossed the counterweight i made I was like “oh wow this is about to be super fun” so thank you @RaRa as OP and @Orion22 !
