Unique 3D printed counterweights

We have posted a ton of new drops for 5A May. And still more to come, so trying to put it all in one spot.

Will try to get at least pictures and some info here as I go back through our posts. Usually we post on FB and Instagram.

Starting with:

Latest Berriez drop, asking $20 each with $5 shipping in the US.

Bitz is a new style we’re making and one of my favorite counterweights right now.

Purple Bitz 10.5 grams

Yellow Bitz 10.7

White Bitz 10.8

Orange Bitz 10.8

This 6 sided dice and several others were posted by the lovely Yours by Design Canada on MakerWorld.

They left them open to changes and commercial use. At this time we haven’t made weights from the other styles(other than personal use) but hope to eventually add those as well.

While this might be a simple enough print for most at home, it’s actually the weaving that is a skill in itself. So from us is the way to get one the correct scale, weight and fully assembled.

:heart_on_fire:

As usual the colors do vary in weight despite all being the same settings.

Purple and Blue are all 10.3 grams, almost 10.4 range. So basically the target weight.

White is on the lightest end and just barely ended up under 10.3

Yellow at 10.6 and orange at 10.5 are the heaviest

We also decided to design some for double dice, that are 9.5~ for the set if there’s interest in these we can print to order.

Use wise the squish make these super nice to hold, catch and not hurt like a solid chunk of material. Also more impact friendly on the yoyo just as previously mentioned with our Berriez. It’s a very nice rounded shape so no sharp edges or corners.

Even more exciting the way they can be manipulated adds areas for temporary string grabs/new mounts and also spring like launches using the right physics for certain tricks. With plenty of new and innovative stuff still to try and discover!

Almost forgot and this one is probably better explained just going to our video.

New threader holder, counterweight display and small parts tray that we designed.

When threader is removed it can fit in a standard case size hole. So either leave space for your counterweights or put it behind a slimmer yoyo.

We sell these threaders or include them with larger orders currently so maybe could figure out a bundle price for the threader and stand.

All our counterweights include a Ziplines Alphalines and a basic flosser style threader. :heart:

Unique indeed! All these cool counterweights make me wish I was cool enough to know any 5A. :sweat_smile:
