I am that way with some textures. Was sorting laundry and accidentally touched a microfiber rag when expecting cotton. Screamed a little lol. Polyfill also feels like death. I have to wear gloves to handle it. ---

Fwiw, as someone who loves the RBC, the Plasm is just scaled up just ever so slightly ---

I just got my package today with a green and purple. The green certainly has a different hand-feel, and it is slightly tackier, but still pull-startable for certain (and Tape Measure). The frosted ones are incredibly smooth, the green is just slightly less, but still wayyyy more manageable than I would have expected from a gloss look. ---

Wanted to update and let you know that i was able to work things out with the retailer. In the end I’ve got 2 B grades, but again that’s fine. Excited to see what color ways come if there’s another run in the future. Loving the feel of the Plasm. Nicely done! ---

My black b-grade doesn’t have the MK1/SW engraving on it, and it looks so clean without it. I love the engraving, but im not missing it at all ---

Just got my purp-b in the mail today, mine did have engravings. I wonder if your non-engraved implies that someone is getting one with 2 engraved halves lol ---

That would actually be sick too to have both halves engraved I just assumed since the halves were cracked they just didn’t bother engraving. Cool to know i just got an outlier ---

I’m using the heated bed on one of my 3d printers to heat the vat of Rit to 94 degrees Celsius. I did not science the measurements, wipe the plasm down, or do anything I probably should have done. The cabal was done after a couple hours. Here’s a shot of it. ![IMG_9127](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/7/8/178f142f159f436eda8639105b46d3f07403a9cf.jpeg) ![IMG_9128](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/4/8/148a3cf7734c1be76d358b2da45d90fc30615204.jpeg) The plasm took almost 20 hours to get a decent pink color. It eventually got a little condensation inside the caps and I have it drying right now in a filament dryer (hot air and desiccants) You can see the condensation in these photos. ![IMG_9130](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/9/a/09aad63eb5e8e8fc2b906f68bd9ac24f0c696738.jpeg) ![IMG_9129](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/1/8/818c08d3da1dfdacae9694cd41dba6fcdbfe9dc0.jpeg) ---

For anyone curious, who may have been a part of the Flying Lemon protos. The 4mm MR85 fits in the Plasm beautifully with the existing axle. If you want to push it a little more into the string-stack realm. It Skin the Gerbils like a champ! :wink: ---
