I’m working on a ? Block counterweight and then I’ll post the models up. It’s an mr85 brake pad design at the moment.

Maybe an orange and blue “portal” with a companion cube cw?

This is probably a long shot but I got a Spintastic Technic yoyo in a lot deal but its missing the wooden sleeve. I was going to try and 3d print one because I highly doubt you can find a wooden one without buying the whole yoyo. Does anyone happen to know if there are any STL files for these wooden sleeves before I attempt to make one?

This is awesome. Any chance you will make a GT version with pogs?

Shoot me a dm so i remember later on and I can send you a bee gt stl. I’ll try and get a technic axle models for you tonight as well.

I would be interested in an STL for technical axles as well.

Note we have tested fixed axle with pla heavily and common consensus is you’ll melt it. Petg holds up a bit better and other more engineering materials go great but of course they off gas when printing so be mindful of your ventilation

Carbon fiber shreds string fyi

I remember that from when we had carbon fiber response pads😂

Wow, Paul Yath carbon fiber pads really take me back. Looked and felt really cool, but they had some rough edges.

So random question does anyone have an STL for the Angry Dice Duncan CW? My kid is dying for one in certain colors and apparently all the CW we make are good enough for him :sweat_smile:

Let me check when I get home. I know I’ve modeled at least 2 or 3 dice.

Funny enough l’ve actually been working on a 3d printable wood spintactis axle, needs a bit more work before l can release it

Maybe :thinking:, l don’t own a gt so l won’t be able to model one intell l get one

What’s the consensus on TPU brake pads? Has anyone tried them out? I need to get some new Brake Pads and wanted to get a pack of them but YYF only sells them in 1 packs with string for $6. So im thinking of trying to 3D print some instead.

I use them a lot. They are great. The Waffle Stomper I mailed like 60 of out uses them.

@Lotaxi made a dxf that I slightly resized and posted up with the waffle stomper for download.

I prefer my pads printed in NinjaFlex Edge (85a), and Chinchilla (75a) but have had 40D shore work well too. Basically the softest TPU you can print reliably.

Perfect. Thats what I needed. I only have 95a so I will have to order some. Have you ever tried the softer TPU for regular response pads?

I have, a little. I made some mr85 and some weird custom shaped pads at one point. They worked well for responsive throws but were always too grabby for unresponsives.

Did you ever try the 95a?

I have not. 95a is very firm, it might still work and will probably depend on how matte/glossy it is.
