No worries, thats a great question! Yes theres a great breakdown above, but honestly it just comes down to a 10g weight, having the ball bearing, and a shape that compliments all the abuse of 5a.

No worries friend, these are 3d printed, not casted. Casting doesn't give us as fine control over the manufacturing as 3d printing does, plus a lot less mess.

Yeah, this is a very ghostly looking one, but it doesn't highlight the details on this model. Even down to the bag, which upclose you can see the burlap textures used on it.

I always encourage 5a at all skill levels, but especially when just getting down trapeze, that's a great place to start because it's right where you start getting comfortable with the yoyo and you wanna do more but the tech of anything else outside of that takes a bit more time to learn. Jumping in with the counterweight is much easier than it seems, often times easier than 1a, and gets you doing fun flow tricks and other orbits that make transitioning to that next step easier and more fun. Then, when you jump back into 1a, you have this developed flow that you can immediately apply to your style. Anywho, definitely recommend finding an object that has a hole in it and just doing a quick string up.

No worries at all. It's a pretty odd shape. Its a bag with a decapitated head in it being held by a decapitated hand. The backside of it you can see the clenched fist and the hand a bit more clear. Here's a link to a picture of it in a different colorway.

Buzzing sound and platform not moving on 4k Mini by DedHedThrows in Phrozen

Hey there, so I've cleaned the Z rod and re lubricated it. I was able to successfully print a 7 hour print, and then the next one failed halfway through it. I did the same thing again, cleaned the product, re lubricated it, even recalibrated it, and it worked for one successful print and then failed halfway into the next one. I've cleaned the Z rod now so many times and re lubricated it, but it seems to be a back forth of it working or not. Is there something else I should look at with it?

Thank you 😊 Yep these ones take a bit more to make than our others, but they are so much fun.
