Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions! We definitely already got rid of the inner supports, the internal overhang angles are well within what the material can withstand. The weight was intentional for this throw, but in future designs we definitely will experiment with lighter designs. ---

Yeah, it has taken a bit of research and experimentation to figure out what the limits of my printer are as far as printing without supports. Now that We know the range of angles we can print without supports, we can apply that to our design theorem. ---

Deven just sent me photos and a video of the version where we printed the threads instead of reying on a nyloc nut. Apparently the results are spectacular. We were able to maintain the profile, the dimensions, and the weight (62g) of the original design while making this a really stable, smooth playing organic throw. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/2/f/c2f45245f954093d1f02a11f1f93293cd1a71182.jpeg) ---

That looks fantastic. I wanted to make a compact fixed axle yoyo after my tests with the organic yoyo we made, so I threw this together last night before I went to bed. I still have to smoothen the center peg before I press the halves together, but otherwise I’m pretty happy. ![20210303_092747](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/e/9/6e99bc7618ad7a244ffb2f6f335a8e5efe5a61c6.jpeg) ![20210303_092921](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/d/7/2d7eca0ab07c8e4a63435235be9da7fd1d144769.jpeg) ---

The other day I designed a fixed axle yoyo and matching counterweight for Responsive Freehand style play, and today I designed another yoyo to match. This one is unresponsive. > [@The 0A Thread (Fixed Axle & Modern Responsive)](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/the-0a-thread-fixed-axle-modern-responsive/304228/1370): > > EDIT: Designed a matching counterweight, and didnt want to make a new post. Just about done designing a 3D printed fixed axle and matching counter weight. I’ve done an unresponsive before with the Luftverk spacer kit and that was a blast. @DCorella and I did a big organic yoyo with massive hollow chambers inside to optimize weight distribution. This time I’m working on a relatively simple high walled fixed axle yoyo designed for 0A play. When approaching the counterweight i started by modifyin… I started with the geometry of the profile and the cups from the fixed axle and used that as the basis for the design. I kept the diameters the same between them, but stretched this one out way wide. I optimized thte weight distribution for unresponsive play but kept the same styling on the rims and nipple for the axle. @DCorella and I started exploring 3d printing with the Luftverk spacer kit, and quickly ditched the lock nut when we found that the material was strong enough to have threads printed right in. This lead to more stability, but things were still wonky because of the spacers, so on this one I just designed the entire bearing seat into the yoyo.
