Beyblade / Bakuten Shoot: better Winder (Ripcord)

As every Plastic Generation blader knows, original winders (a.k.a. ripcords) are prone to breaking.
Now you’ll never have to worry about that again!

This remake is thicker than the original for improved durability and features a finer pitch of 2.75 mm instead of the standard 3 mm, which I found provides a noticeably grippier feel during launch.
Technically, that makes it illegal for official tournaments – but it’s perfect for testing, casual battles, or playing with friends.

It still has the same number of teeth as the original Dragon Winder (68), so there’s no unfair speed advantage. It works perfectly with every Plastic Gen shooter, even with the smaller pitch. The Ring grip version is, of course, fully compatible with the official rubber add-on.

I’ve made two versions so far:

• Ring grip
• HMS winder–style grip

A proper Dragon Head version might be added in the future.

For best results, I recommend printing in PA12 Nylon or ABS, as both are highly durable for winders. Especially winders printed with Nylon are almost unbreakable and cause less wear on the shooter than other materials. TPU is also usable, though it may skip during launches of heavier blades. PETG and PLA will work, but they’re more likely to break over time.
