Some super awesome 3D printed goodness.
Thatās crazy, who was selling one?
@MinerJ The man, the myth, the legendš«”
Got these in from a purchase/trade with @Adrielecc who threw in amazing extras! So stoked to play with these, and my collection of No Jiveās featuring the area where I grew up is now complete.
Today I was able to pick up my package from @Ardeus and I have to say it was an awesome experience unpacking it. First of all it was packaged incredibly well and it was obvious that Ardeus had a nice unboxing experience in mind when packing everything upā¦
The throws themselves are absolute masterpiecesā¦
I picked up a Skip, a Stroller, a Stompling and a Stomp and each one of them feels solid and unique in feel and play with distinct play characteristics. I donāt even know which one I like the most because they all play so great with a reliable and predictable response. STMāing, stalling, string tricks, all feel easy and nice and do flow right of ones hands. Itās clear to me that a lot of thought went into designing them.
Ardeus even threw in a Dumpling Proto which Iām greatful for and I really do enjoy that one tooā¦and it looks so slick as well.
All in all I couldnāt be happier with my order and those Fixies really live up to their great reputation and the love theyāre getting.
Stunning work @Ardeus and thank you very much for making these great pieces available for the community (for an incredibly fair price I might add)!
Keep up the great work. Iām really looking forward to what comes next out of your mind and printer.
Good Yo!
Yo @MinerJ is amazing we donāt deserve you bud
Is the top left the Skip? I like the look of the profile.
Do you have a favorite of the lot? I really like the Stroller.
The top left (the white one) is the Dumpling Prototype Ardeus included with my order. The Skip (formerly Strider) is the one in the middle of the first two pictures of the throws. Itās the most narrow one.
Hereās the link to Ardeusā BST where the Specs for each throw are listedā¦
I only have them since today and although I played them thoroughly throughout the day I honestly canāt say it for sure yet. Iām pretty much overwhelmed by all the goodness. But if I had to choose right now I think Iād lean towards the Skip. I like the narrow profile and the weight and balance just clicked with me instantly judging from the first couple of throws.
Cheers! Iām glad they arrived safe.
Thanks for sharing the unboxing experience, and for the kind words. I appreciate it! So happy that you like them!
Got this general-yo mini star 2 in the post yesterday before heading off to the airport for a holiday, had a quick play with it and then packed it in the bag. Itās a really nice throw, I slightly regret not getting the pink one though.
I got a little sketchbook that Iām using as a signature book for us nationals! If you meet me I may have u sign it!
Just a heads up, I charge $$$ for autographs.
I got fortunate and was able to pick this little gem up. It will be a user and needs a good bit of love (and parts) to bring it back but will be a fun project.
(Plus I needed the case as a template for perhaps making a few new leather cases).
Are those removable end caps?
These also made it into the mailbox this weekend while I was away on leave. Super stoked to have an El Mijo!
They are! Just spray some compressed air into the axle hole and they will pop right out
Cool! Whatās the weight, with and without?
It says 60g for one of them (not sure which) on the yye listing. Iām current out of town, but will check and report back to you when I can
