Colors are good but not my favorite so v2 has emerald and navy. Much more up my alley. also has smaller diameter and plays better than the first mostly because its lighter imo. Still got to draw up a design to make the support area not visable.

That looks sweet! You should make some half hexagons for the top and bottom that can be for extra strings or lube or something.

That’s a great idea. The model is from thingiverse but that sounds like an easy edit.

I got some new rainbow filament. I wish the color change was a bit more dramatic on these small pieces.

If you’re going to Nats I’m printing a bunch of these Boomer Weights to hand out.

This weight is inspired by the No City BAD. I think it came out pretty well. It might be a bit small 😳. 11g, which might be a tiny bit too heavy for me as well 😅

This is _almost_ the new Pixie. Like a version 1.8. I made a few updates:

1. The response holes are closer to the axle (but otherwise unchanged. Same size).
2. The rim has been rounded over and should be less sharp.
3. The text is debossed instead of embossed.
4. Color change is now “sandwiched” to color the bottom of debossed letters instead of the top of embossed letters.

I say it’s almost final because I’m still adjusting where and how many color changes layers are there, but otherwise the CAD I think is where it is for an updated revision.

Bumat elite. It clogs a bunch unless you bump up to a .8 nozzle and it has no directions on how to print but I found start at 190 then drop to 180 to reduce stringing helped also got to go slow with this stuff trying to go quick results in lots of stringing. I also have to use a brim for adhesion. It’s been more of a pain than petg and I thought that stuff was annoying.
