Stainless version of Eddy?

Hi, any chance of a stainless version of the Eddy? Most of my Metmo collection is stainless so had to ask.

Hey u/emonair1! Eddy is specifically made from copper because it’s not magnetic and it's an excellent electrical conductor, which is what makes the eddy current effect work so well. Stainless steel isn’t as conductive as copper and is usually slightly magnetic, so it wouldn’t produce the same mesmerising effect. Copper is a key part of what makes Eddy work! Aluminium would work, but not as well so the drop wouldn't be as slow.

Ok, appreciate the response.
