I like my yo-yos like I like my blood cells... (A Blood Cell, RBC, and Plasm Appreciation Thread)

Perfect, thanks so much

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.

@aorear85 Ultra Grey has a very strong following and suggestion rate. A lot can be learned in this thread. :wink:

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

I think this was the thread where we discussed it but I ordered 24 4mm wide MR85s for about $3.13 a piece. Now I get to wait and see if tariffs bite me.

The Plasm (and RBC before it), has the most satisfying response I have ever experienced from a yoyo. The combo of pads, gap width/design, and MR85, is amazing

I would love to have an Iron Man Deep State. All I need is a gold Deep State. :smiley::rofl:

Agreed. Forgot to thank @Captrogers for the denim idea, helped alot to smooth out the bearing seat. I cleaned out all the extra debris and swapped the bearing. Now she purrs… no more string cutting.

Loving this throw. Great job guys @Glenacius_K @MarkD

Day 1 with the Plasms and I’m stoked. So far they can handle everything I can throw at them, including me butchering this Kyle Nations combo

I can’t get over how fun and satisfying this thing is to play.

Perfection on a string, and I’m not really even a responsive/ 0a wonk.

It’s just so good :face_holding_back_tears:
