I’ve bumped the axle up to 5/16” (from 1/4”). I’ve swapped from a hole based response to my “tic tac” response. I beefed up the rims a mm and change. And I’ve pushed all the weight to the perimeter, so the center is now mostly hollow. I did forget to turn on random seams on this one, so it has a highly visible one 😅 I can’t wait to get it glued up and see how it plays! ---

Thanks! That was the goal of some changes. I think the bigger rim is going to play very nice. I had originally attempted to give the Pixie an even weight distribution to emulate the feel of wood, but as it’s an homage to the Butterfly, I think hollow may be more appropriate. That said the axle size change is very not Butterfly, so we’ll see how that plays. All that said these do tend to come out a little lighter than I like for play, so I’m going to try to pack on some more weight too. This one is 40g without the axle and glue, so I hope it’ll get to 43 when it’s done. I like 48 or 49 a bit more. ---

are there any functional differences (e.g. vibe) with different seam settings? ive tried both with seams and without, and sometimes i get a smooth throw and others i get one that pulses so hard it falls off the string ---

This hasn’t affected me that much but I’m printing fixies and a little vibe is ok 😁 For me the seams make a visual difference. I prefer not having a single seam and distributing it. ---

Patients or trashcan Even if you wind it back up my experience is that it locks at some point which causes normally more damage. ---

First we cry. Then we curse. Then we carefully re wind the spool. Mess up. Start over. Break it half way. Throw the remainder in a bucket full of silica for a week and ignore it. Then try again and eventually get most of a spool made. Print with it and hopefully not snag randomly. Repeat till it’s gone. ---

interesting art piece, not very practical. might sand it. still quite a bit of vibe, and the bearing seat keeps falling off, so im thinking of using m2 screws instead of m4. otherwise works pretty well. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/0/4/204313ea6ad22fe4d6a9bd1153618be28ed0e9e3.jpeg) waste of nice filament, but at least it looks pretty cool ---
