Beytip

Description
I can't believe this thing worked the first time. It has all the retaining ledges and little clippy ridges and stuff. It fit the beyblade without much cleanup at all.
OK, I guess I should have searched thingiverse first, here is a similar project. thingiverse.com/thing:8327 . I'll have to try his designs too and see if they work on the kids beyblades.

I was just thinking of a ripcord. If you were to make a longer than standard ripcord it would give you an advantage.
Great. Now if I could just find an .stl for a ripcord!
I printed with scale 1.0 and it worked great.
The zero extra shells trick did not work for me, but I printed with one shell and 100% object infill and it worked well.
Thanks for posting this, it is great!

2. um, put it on the beyblade
3. Why are you still here?
4. If you print raftless like me and squash the bottom layer you may need to clean up the little squashed out parts on the bottom.
5. I print 4 at a time using the multiply feature in skeinforge so that I don't have to worry about cooling between layers.
6. I also use the zero extra shells trick as seen on Makerbot blog here

7. I'm done talking now
8. OK, seriously now, go away!
9. I'm sure there will be pressure to design new and better tips, now that the first design is in their grubby little hands.
10. There that's an even ten instructions. That ought to be enough, right?

I tried printing one. It was a little too small. Maybe i will scale it to 1.06 like sssidney said. :)
The ones I printed at full scale were tighter than the commercial tips but still fit, so scaling up a little should probably be the default for this tip. I guess I should upload a scaled stl.
I like the design. I am glad it works. I'll try to make mine work too. :)
I scaled it to 1.06 and it fit perfectly!!!
We've made 3 mods so far. My son is experimenting with the new ones and coming up with ideas for improvements. Thanks!!!!
Cool. I've been experimenting with adding metal tips. So far I just drilled a hole in the one above, and inserted some copper wire from a short section of household wiring. 12 gauge I think. The copper is easy to mill in a drill. Just insert and tighten the chuck then use a file to round the tip as you spin it in the drill. I might have to do up a design with a hole though since drilling into sparse fill doesn't make for a strong hole to insert stuff into.
