Yes! I switched to a diamond tipped nozzle to improve my metal filled prints. The heart I sent I still from the old nozzle but it’s made a big difference in improving quality, especially with tricky materials. ---

I didn’t answer your question lol but the weirder pal is not metal filled. It’s made from my normal HTPLA but at 100% infill (solid plastic with no empty space) so it gives it some weight. ---

Waffle Stompers? I make them! If you want to request a yoyo I don’t want any money, I work off of karma. When someone reaches out asking for one I ask that you promise to donate some money, goods, or time to a charity or your local women’s shelter and dm me your address. I’m disabled so sometimes there is a wait while I get stuff together as an fyi. Inventory wise I have 4 waffles left from the 40 I made. (How have I sent out so many???) ---

That’s basically what it’s for! It’s intended to be a take it literally anywhere yoyo. A yoyo you can wade through salt water with, drop into a puddle of something weird, run it through the dishwasher (maybe I’m kinda scared to test that one). Spill zombie guts on it? No problem it still plays fine. The only thing it needs to play just right is for some string, a drop of thick lube or chapstick on it. Rendered zombie fat should classify as thick lube in a pinch.
