Ah, I see. I’m not hip on the 3d printers. That makes sense though. So, I guess it’s the same for starburst? You can only really do it if you’ve got a flat cap, basically? ---

Loopers are really hard. The tolerances needed to get a proper consistent gap far exceed what my printer can get to. If I had a better printer with linear rails and various other expensive upgrades it’s possible and yjyoyo is doing it with the easy trick but I’ve talked to wayne and the effort isn’t worth it unless your willing to pump out a bunch of them to make back the investment ---

Flowable and pads are doable. I like the spacer holding pads aspect of the Cabal guts, and that part seems hard to source. ---

Starbursts aren’t good on the 3d printer but you can do a variety of hole responses. ---

They are absolutely possibly but you need significantly more expensive gear than what either of us have. ---

From what I’ve heard from others, his stuff looks exceptional (if you’re into jewels and stuff), but doesn’t really perform well. They are mostly show pieces. His detail and craftsmanship is excellent. ---

It depends on the shape. His more recent butterfly shapes play better than the wide loopers. His slim loopers play great as loopers (not many wood looping yo-yos being made) but the one of a kind yoyo means your not getting same pairs of looping wood ---

Yjyoyo making their easy trick with a cap makes total sense for printing.
