I don’t play my Origen very much anymore but it is a fun throw. ---

I’m telling you… some sort of blast finish would elevate the Origen to a whole new plane. ---

This cap design got it down from 9 grams to 7. I have a more extreme weight reduction attempt I’m testing next. ![IMG_9800](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/9/1/6913fd9b58605df6c5da68f4e930a49c2ee77089.jpeg) ---

And we are under 60 grams! (Barely :joy:) I printed these in polycarbonate to make sure the spokes were really strong but I’m gonna print some in my usual HTPLA to see if they hold up in that too. Those ones may even be a hair lighter. Reminds me of a weird Duncan Wheel. ![IMG_9802](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/9/c/c9c5dda1a3082e22abe383023094563e2036af0d.jpeg) ---

1. That’s funny because when I saw the “light” purple ones - I thought “I wonder if they spoked it and removed the material entirely…” and then you did just that. 2. Is that “clear” filament? 3. If these play well and hold up well - I love that you still get to see some of the dope Space Wagon below it. Another killer Andy Creation! ---

Yes that is a clear polycarbonate. It did come out fairly not clear in print. I’m probably gonna try an iron every layer version and see if I can get it to be actually clear. Once I test the PLA version of the wagon wheel I’ll post files up for both. ---

Silly question but isn’t PC one of the materials that off gasses when printing or am I wrong on that? If it dies how are you venting/ scrubbing the air ---

It does offgas some. Not as bad as ABS but some fumes for sure. I installed this on my Core One > **[Advanced Filtration for Prusa CORE One | Original Prusa 3D printers directly...](https://www.prusa3d.com/product/advanced-filtration-for-prusa-core-one/)** > > The Advanced Filtration System with HEPA and carbon filters is useful when printing ASA and other materials that produce larger volumes of ultra-fine particles and fumes during printing. This spare part is compatible only with the Prusa CORE One. A hepa filter. With it running I can’t smell anything at all anymore. As added care I also only print polycarbonate when I’m not working in my office so that if something escapes the filter I’m not in the room. ---

> Would love to hear your thought in general but also on the ones you mentioned as I’ve been eyeing a few of them up. In general some of my favorite responsives are the Plasm, Workhorse, PLTPS, Spinworthy KNack, Freehand One (small bearing), Daytripper, modded Duncan Wheels, Caveman Go, No Jive 3-in1 (in flying camel configuration), and some of my 3D printed designs. Also, I should probably add the Janus, because while it’s far from my favorite thing to throw, it’s the only thing I can enjoy throwing that also fits in the watch/coin pocket of my jeans. But the thing is, they’re all great for some things, and not for others, and a lot of it comes down to personal preference and style of play. I do like my Deep State too, but it took quite a bit more tinkering to get it to respond the way I like, and the stock gap is wider than I’d prefer. My first all metal modern responsive was the Slim Jim, and I love the profile and fingerspin hubs, but most of the time I find myself wishing it were a few grams lighter, and the gap is also a tad wide for my liking. The FH1 is too wide and heavy for a lot of things, but just right for mixing in some responsive 1A stuff. I also generally prefer smaller bearings, I think my favorite bearing sizes for my printed throws are A, MR95, and MR85, and every half-spec C size modern responsive I own I wish were made with a smaller bearing. > [@SleeperHit](#): > > I like the Origen. MR85ZZ with an extra-large pad makes it dependably responsive. It’s definitely dependably responsive, and a fantastic deal at under $20 USD. As already mentioned, the gloss finish isn’t ideal. I’ve considered sanding or bead blasting mine. > [@Captrogers](#): > > Silly question but isn’t PC one of the materials that off gasses when printing or am I wrong on that? If it dies how are you venting/ scrubbing the air Yes, and it’s the main reason I don’t use it much, because it prints really nicely (other than really large prints with sharp corners where it wants to warp). I’m pretty sensitive to VOCs, and don’t have a good way to vent my printer outside. I have a recirculating activated carbon filter inside the printer chamber (Bento Box) plus the HEPA / carbon filter built in to the printers exhaust, and they help a lot but it’s still not enough for me. ---

Okay the new lighter weight pullstart cap designs are done and tested, they also worked well in HTPLA.
