I really want to find one of the Petri’s that has been anodized to look like it has bacterial growth.

I JUST saw the Petri for the first time ever like 15 minutes ago, haha!
There’s one on the BST and I was like “that’s super interesting” lol

@Glenacius_K Have you ever considered designing an aluminum fixed axle?

Yeah I have.

Did you ultimately decide against it?
I just don’t get the point.

He invented MR85 designs so you can easily convert your metal responsives to fixies easy as heck, even if it is against his wishes 
I’m pretty sure glen does NOT approve, but just brick up those bearings or throw a 3d printed blank in and your RBC or harbinger becomes a fixed axle monster. My RBC with a blank is probably my favorite fixie.

I need a yo-yo wall…but first I need enough throws to warrant a yo-yo wall…
I finally filled my toolbox, though! 24 throws! w00t!
(3 are Butterflies, but it still counts!)

I’m modeling an MR85 blank to 3d print at the moment actually. Glad to hear it will theoretically work haha.

I have a 2-yoyo Sochi case with one stock RBC and one bricked bearing RBC. The mesh pocket on top is packed with a dozen RBC replacement pads and a couple extra bearings lol. I gotta grab it later and post a pic.

Is the MR85 bearing the same outer diameter as the axle in a SpinWorthy? Still larger than say a Butterfly axle though I assume?

Money? New shiny. We like cool silly things…

I remember reading somewhere that it was the size of a typical fixed axle, but I don’t remember which fixed axle. I think I had butterfly in my head but that feels wrong now that you say that lol

I got mine from a pif but I’m certain @Captrogers printed it. It’s just a very simple plastic tube. Works like a charm. I prefer it to my glued bearing, but it offers virtually zero sleep time, which I’m okay with, at least on my RBC

Printed mine. It’s so tiny it works really well all things considered. It is giving about 10 seconds sleep time compared to 30 seconds with the stock bearing.

Sleeping with an RBC:
In a bed: Kinda weird, but I’m sure we all forget stuff in our pockets
On a string: Really weird. Why would you do that?
In your body: This is normal. In fact, this is expected. But just in case, I have a stake and a cross handy- DON’T TOUCH ME- I have garlic too. Is minced okay?

Ahh yeah I forgot about those I made a slightly concaved version too but never printed it

Oh that sounds interesting 
You could argue that it’s fresh I suppose, but I just don’t really see any other point. I don’t just release a yoyo for money, it has to bring something significant to the table.
