What about response pads? Looks like pads are out of stock on their website. I want to try my hand at designing and 3D printing a No-Jive inspired throw with the bearing/response combo found in the Plasm. ---

Last I checked, think yotricks has pads that work with them. Their Origen has all the same parts as the RBC. ---

All of the places I know to look are out of stock. But, I’d suggest looking into flowable silicone either way. It’s vastly cheaper for a bunch of 3D printed prototypes, and you can make the groove any size you want. ---

Awesome! I actually have an Origen and up until I got the Plasm and Weekender over the past couple weeks it was my go to. Still like it but I know wish it was a bit lighter and more narrow but not my much. ---

You know that’s a fair point. I’ve never done flowable. Any suggestions? Can I just use silicone from the hardware store? ---

I’ve been using Permatex 81730 (flowable windshield and glass seal). I use a small syringe to apply it, scrape the excess off with a business card, allow to cure for 24h, then rub off any residue outside of the groove with a finger. I found a tutorial here on the forums and an old Instructables by Doc Pop that I used as guides to get started. ---

It wasn’t easy to keep the ball-bearing area totally free of silicone, so I had to pick a bit of it away with a needle. I also had to trim the bearing’s side because a little bit of overhanging silicone was slowing it down.

You can use that if you are good at smoothing out the silicone. I use flowable cause it works great and easy to apply ---

Admittedly haven’t read through the whole thread - tried to follow along to most of it. Has anyone else had the 2 part halves start separating? I noticed the “crack/gap” getting wider. I’m not sure how they are “stuck” together - I just squeezed them back - but curious if anyone else has had an issue. I don’t recall hitting it on anything.
