Love this one(they all look great though, especially the color 
) You don’t see enough H-shape fixies. I wonder if it could help to lock in Birds… that could be fun, and probably give way to some crazy Bird combos.

Ha. I had just decided maybe people were sick of the purple, and the next one is green

Well, I think I’m calling #4 a loss.
#4 was supposed to be an undercut. I also thought I’d try out a concentric circle response system just to make things interesting. 3 prints later (due to some issues and a failed print) and it’s completely unresponsive but also has no spin.

do you have an idea what the problem is?
I think the response system is not good enough and I wasn’t designing an unresponsive so the weight is pretty well balanced which doesn’t encourage good spin time. I might revisit this one another time but for now I’m moving on to #5.
Edit: also the response system might have worked with a smaller gap but I designed the axle holes to my standard 2 cent gap (2.6mm, about the thickness of two stacked pennies).

Maybe it wants a wood axle

The halves are going to get destroyed extracting the axle unfortunately 
I’m going to be making a few wood axle variants from this project with halves that were otherwise fine but had press fit issues on the axles.

That Reman #2 is a KILLER throw! Keith did an amazing job on this!
It’s bubbly, comfortable, a little weight to it, beautiful response, easy catch, great fixie play.
THIS is pretty much what I wished my Butterflies were like, haha!
I honestly love this design. Can’t wait to see some of the other stuff that comes out of this project.
Don’t sleep on these, it’s really quality stuff!

This may look alarmingly like #2. That’s because it was the original #2. The printed axle holes were too snug for the Butterfly axle, so this one has been fitted with a 1/4” wood dowel. I’ve named it “Remus” after #2’s owner, @Son-of-Morris called it a “Reman Butterfly” and I thought it was funny.

Holidays have slowed me down a little. #5 is code named “Big Butterfly.” I’ve left everything the same as my #0, but made the inner and outer diameter 3mm bigger, for a whopping 60mm total. Weights in at 60g. I did also flatten the face to make the #5 engraving. This is also my first foray into “fuzzy skin.” I don’t think I’m in love with that feature yet but I could see myself being happier with a little tuning.

Default fuzzy skin is often a little too bumpy for me and needs toned down. Especially in Prusa slicer. I think curas default is a little less aggressive.

#6 is the basic Butterfly shape with the outer wall printed as a spin top style cap. This one is printed face up, the same as my Pixies. This one is not available.

#7 I have nicknamed “Truth.” It’s a clone of a Hildy Emmett. This one is solid and plays a bit like a Survivalist. 50x30.5. 56g.

Actually it’s not available because it’s going to an axle donor

Lucky!
For this specific one I will be making a wood axle variant for sale out of halves that didn’t align with the metal axle. I just have to figure out how I’m going to clamp it
I also may not have mentioned this anywhere but I do enjoy custom work and you can always just ask me
