A few have shown interest for us to post a tutorial on how to make the 'Bey Balancer' and many more has asked to purchase it.
Unfortunately we do not retail it as it can be made by anyone by assembling a couple of purchased items.
Therefore, here's the 'Do It Yourself' guide on making one.
Items Needed:
Can Badge Key Ring Kit
This is obtained from 'Daiso' budget mart in our region. It comes in 2 sizes, but we found the 60m one shows a more accurate reading than the 50m one due to wider convex outer surface.
The product code is as follows:
Ball-bearings
We are using 6mm stainless steel ball bearings for the device as the weight and size are the most effective after testing with other various sizes. These ball-bearings can be bought from hobby, craft or hardware stores online.
Air Blower or Micro fiber cleaning cloth/Fine Tweezers
To remove fine dust from the interior of the container as any foreign particles will affect the movement of the Ball-bearing.
Assembly
Choose a flat and clean surface for assembling the device. (Leveler for reference)
Using a tweezer, open the container by prying the cover open slowly to prevent chipping the edges. Do not fully open the cover to prevent external dust from entering.
Prepare the air blower and blow off any obvious dust in the container.
Prepare a few Ball-bearings for selection. Check for any obvious flattened surfaces on the ball-bearing.
Put 1 ball-bearing through the cover gap into the container, lighty swirl it in a small circular movement and let it settle to the base of the device.
If the ball-bearing does not settle in the most center zone, try a different surface. If the ball-bearing still settled in the off center area, there is a chance the container case might not be properly produced and is a defect. You might want to try using another one.
Of course you can still use it but it would not be as accurate.
If the movement of the ball-bearing is rocky or unstable, most likely the ball-bearing is uneven or unbalanced, remove it and test another.
If the ball-bearing moves smoothly and able to settle in the center of the most central zone of the concaved area, its a good assembly and you can move to the next step.
Turn the device over without the cover opening up. Test the cover for the same center zone check. Repeat the similiar process. Once satisfied proceed with the next step.
Open the cover and flip it over. Position the open gap on the top most zone together with the key chain loop.
Flip the container over and press down on the cover with equal pressure on all sides to prevent the cover from being slanted.
Further check the cover position by looking from the side, making sure no edges are popping out.
Give the surface a wipe and you are done!
Your very own 'Bey Balancer' is complete.
Now you can start tuning your combos!
Notes
Yes, alot of steps and materials are needed to make sure the testing device is of optimum accuracy. But the end result will be worth it.
