Hahaha, no, he came to me and said he wanted a similar shape as the supernova"s outer shell. So I called it supernova knockoff because it was how I could easily sort it. It’s very different than a Nova. The inside is absolutely different. Now, idk if that can get you out of “jacking” designs but… idk. ---

> [@YOYOJAMizm](#): > > i would make the diameter 53 > and the width 40.5 he wants undersized. so 53 is not undersized. i really love the shape, and i hope it works out for you! i’d personally go with a 49mm diameter, small, but usable. i’ve never used Derlin personally, but i’d think that a greater mass focused towards the rims might help. i’d increase the rim size a small amount ---

It’s still a knockoff IMO. it’s NOT a knockoff, i was going to take the shap and redistrubute the weight to give it it’s own feel
