My Process so far: I’ve bought almost a dozen plastic plates from Target that are approximately the same size and shape to use as a base. From there I file out the grooves on the sides and sand away the product information to smooth out the surface. From there, I spray on the base layer of primer, spray on the secondary layer of paint, and use the stencil to spray on the symbols of the city districts.
Right now most of the disks have been filed down, but I need to clean out my file to finish the rest. I’ve cut out most of the stencils, though I do need to redo one of them.
Making kanoka is something I have never thought of before (mostly because kohllii gear would probably come first), but I like the idea! how durable are these, and are they balanced enough to be throwable?
They are not designed to be thrown, but they throw quite well.

There are a surprising amount of people who have said they want me to make a launcher. I love the idea but I have no idea where to even start and unfortunately I have quite the list of futrue projects so a launcher likely won’t be made by me for a few years. @wild_toa
They’re not super durable, if you made maybe an inch long cut in one it’d probably be enough to let you tear it apart. But, they are very balanced and very throwable.
that looks amazing! my only comment is that I think the symbol should be bigger, but if you are going for a hybrid movie/set design, or had other limitations, I get it.
It turned out really great! Now that I realize it. It would have been genius if LEGO produced Kanoka Frisbees that would be identical to their piece counterparts.
Update 4/11/21 I am loving how these are turning out!
Update Week 20-ish
Had to make a new disk from scratch cause the paint chipping on the Ga Metru disk was getting out of control but I’m trying a couple coats of plain ol primer instead of the paint/primer mix
The Ta, Ko, Le and Po disks are turning out pretty good though, so hopefully I won’t need to redo those
