For those having ball cup issues (I realize it's only some of us) here's my trick. I've tried quite a few things but this seems to work best.

I can make a better video later that better describes what I'm doing if need be. I'd tried quite a number of things before to free them up, just never spinning the Dremel fast enough to where it starts to melt the plastic. That was the secret as you're basically reforming the cup around the ball, then you can see as it cools down it gets that smooth feel they were looking for when they decided to use this gray ball cup material.

Anybody tried toothpaste to free them up? That's what I usually use to free/hone some of my mechanisms. Works really well and easy to flush clean afterwards.
