Club has a Meeting next week. I’ll see what they want to do about stocking more of the same version. Or making a minor change for V2. I think there was a couple red left. Email me or message punisher. [Gsquaredyoyos@gmail.com](mailto:Gsquaredyoyos@gmail.com) If anyone messages me on here I’m sorry I don’t check these messages. Platform isn’t great for the phone that I operate from. And it’s just a me thing of limiting how many spots I check. ---

Anyone interested in the Workhorse V1 PIF? As mentioned previously, I’ll add a couple of 3D printed yoyos to the box, and there’s some other fun stuff in there. Will include: - Workhorse V1 - Honeycomb MR85 - Large diameter A bearing throw that plays kinda like a slim version of the FH1 plastic - Smaller / lighter A bearing throw designed for POG caps - Other assorted fun stuff that was in the box when I got it (includes some great counterweights just in time for 5A May) By agreeing to take these, you also agree to post these up after about a month, and pay shipping to the next person. If there aren’t any takers by early next week, it will get sent back to Cody for safekeeping. ![PIF1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/b/a/dbae4b310c2ec4612db7b7b3fa0ea58f3f213f1a.jpeg) ![PIF2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/6/b/16be785a3bd98c1adc2456d1a04a42acfd9f28dd.jpeg) ---

I would just for that Honeycomb (love MR85 throws), but I already have the v1 so the PiF would be wasted on me ---

Print your own pullstart caps for the workhorse! The notches on the side are for easy removal since it wasn’t originally designed as a capped yoyo. You can stick a house key in and pop them out. The original design I made didn’t have these… and I learned a valuable lesson. ![tempImageupftWW](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/0/6/b0623548cddbd206aee33ff0898c3c9f601dff37.jpeg) ![tempImageGBqzNi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/5/a/d5a0e7eaea433468290890609d4a5f7fa86ebde0.jpeg) > **[YYBC Work Horse Pull Start Caps by AudreySickburn | Download free STL model |...](https://www.printables.com/model/1285593-yybc-work-horse-pull-start-caps)** > > Add pull start capabilities to your coveted workhorse. | Download free 3D printable STL models ---

These are 9 grams for a pair. Tomorrow I’m going to print some in a wood filament that’s lower density and see if I can make a lighter weight version too. The total weight came to about 63 grams with caps on. ---

Suggesting p.6, OT String be expanded to “Original Throw String”. Turns up better web search results. ---

The Proto with a 4mm dry bearing and Polyesque string. The Founders edition with de-shielded 5mm bearing a touch of moly grease and a spattering of oil with Executive Class Strings, and The beautiful Cherry Bomb has the same blend in the bearing only with thick Prestige strings. For the bearing treatment I dab a Qtip in the black moly grease and dab it in to a spot or 2 on one side of the bearing, I then put a BB sized drop of oil right on the grease. Assemble and throw several times letting it spin out a fair bit. This wets the grease and spreads it around really well. This causes the bearing to have incredible response that lasts a long time but it also allows it to spin faster like a dry bearing, even having a similar sound. I’m loving it with the 5mm greased bearings. The 4mm bearing is very responsive. Too much so for string tricks with the thicker strings I normally use. You can’t get the yo-yo to sit in a mount without it instantly responding. But for playing catch and loops and likely stalls as well, the 4mm is a dream. I will eventually try MYY string on it as I have a ton to see if thinner string will allow some string play. Anyways, that’s my story, I am loving all 3 of them. 🥰 ---

Similar setup for me, cherry bomb with a greased up 4mm bearing and a thick cotton-poly blend for 0A stalls, and space wagon set up with the 5mm bearing and just a tiny bit of thin lube with a Solutions Serum string for string tricks. ---

I ended up making a thicker Vapor string for my Workhorse, which helped the response. I need to buy some silicon grease still. ---

These are fire! My concerns are 2 fold: 1. Can I print smooth enough to be an effective spinner? 2. I’d be covering up the dope Space Wagon - but man - where did that purple filament come from because wow that looks awesome! But Fidget pulls are why I’ve considered going back to the Weekender as my EDC even though I love the workhorse. Hmmm… ---

I print these with thin layer lines, 0.08 mm usually but 0.01 does spin well too. You gotta tune well to minimize seams lines. The purple is Gloop! Purple from Proto-Pasta. > **[Gloop!

Wood filament caps are lighter at about 7 grams. I hit these ones with some beeswax lemon butcher block wax for extra smoothness. ![IMG_8966](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/9/3/c93f9c6c9a3b0a610b9576b2479cac8eace22c6f.jpeg) ---
