neat. my printer still probably can’t print with that but something to shoot for when getting a new printer and would be really cool in a yoyo. hard to break fdm yoyo sounds awesome.

Weird question, but would any of you be interested in a Voxelab Aquila X2? I have an Aquila that has been upgraded with the [Micro Swiss NG](https://store.micro-swiss.com/collections/extruders/products/micro-swiss-ng-direct-drive-extruder-for-creality-ender-3-v2-neo) and a garolite (g10) build plate. Plus tons of extra parts and custom firmware. It’s an awesome printer and prints super well I just have so many at the moment I’m trying to downsize a bit.

I figured I would ask here before putting it up for sale locally and on discord, or on the official BST threads. May also consider trades if there’s any interest. Willing to shoot more photos if and give an entire breakdown of what extras are included if there’s any interest.

Two fresh prints. The near is the new second face on the Cardigan. The far is a Hobby Horse. I may have made the gap on the Hobby Horse a little too tight…

Edit: and the Hobby Horse is punishingly heavy at 66g 🥵

Cardigan looks very cool. Reminds me of the paintings they do on barns.

i am obsessed with trying to make a 3d printed offstring right now. after a fee iterations though, the material between the axel screw and the bearing is super fragile, meaning it can snap off and dislodge itself.

This one is my fav and is also played frequently. After a lot of experiments this thing can take a good amount of beating also.

This one uses cabal guts and a slim bearing which works great

I finished a commission that was eating all my print cycles and then beginning of school and I’m finally back at it.

I have these two glued up tonight.
