Probably! I’m recovering from anesthesia and high off my face right now. But when I’m a functioning human who can operate a laptop I can probably make it into dice, disk shapes, other shapes….? I can’t think of other shapes right now but they certainly exisr. ---

I could use a measure of the outer side instead, and the weight. I have a model for stacks (not the one on the YYBC share). ---

My model might need adjusting. It fell off the other day. And I tried to 3d print a sub stacked imperial for a cross over episode but the stacks kept falling off the hubs. ---

I do not. I did just get in some neon green TPU though. I believe it will be black light reactive but have to find one of my kids little black light keychains because I otherwise don’t think I have a bulb. ---

I made a mistake on the depth of the 1 pip and it goes through, and I’m not happy with how the bottom edge looks with pip holes. I might make the whole thing just a teensy bit bigger. This is printed in white TPU. ---

I’ve been 3d printing rims for various yoyos (mostly bangarang) and I’ve gotten it down, I think. (I’m kinda new to this) But a seam keeps showing up on the rim, does anyone know how to fix this? ---

Seams happen on round prints no matter what but can be minimized to the point of near invisible with fine tuning. First thing is I would check temperature because it might be a bit too high, maybe print a temp tower. Retractions, flow rate, esteps, and speed can also affect seams. You can also try different seam settings like random vs aligned to see if that helps hide it better. Worst case scenario a little very fine sandpaper can erase a seam quickly. If I do that I usually pass over the sanded area with a torch gently to hide the scuffs. ---

It’s cleaner printed in PLA, but the fit is not as good. I can maybe open it up. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/3/a/d3a2832642f635f915be7ac170f4eec712f6d9ac.jpeg) Personally I might remove the pips entirely and just have cubic stacks. It would work better for the medium.
