Yup!  Both work great except for the green on the gauntlet, but it's still totally playable. smile

Re: My Filastruder

How do you get the nice figure eights? Mine just ends up in a large tangle. I end up so frustrated that I cut it to untwist it and spool it into smaller pieces.

@Nimikin, I'm not sure!  It does that sometimes and not others.  It's really nice when it does.  I've experimented with angling the cooler piece (with the fan and copper pipe) thinking it might make it spool, but no luck yet.  We should start a thread for experiments like that.

Mine ends up in a big messy pile, but I don't end up getting tangles when I spool. One of these days when I get time, I'll make a video.
