Decided to try my hand at half swapping a Duncan Butterfly for Fixed Axle February. I followed [this tutorial](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/sleeper80s-butterfied-butterfly-mods-and-more/371439) for disassembly by @Sleeper80. The only thing did differently was keep the axle stock and I painted the inside of the yoyo white to make the colors stand out a bit.
