A few months ago I had a conversation with Paul Yath of Crucial that got me wanting to make some delrin yoyos. I got a metal lathe a couple months ago and just this week finished 2 delrin prototypes. The first was inspired by Landon Balk’s Acryllion. Diameter: 50mm Width: 41mm Response: BC pad spacers Came out pretty smooth for a first try, though the rims were too sharp, it had too much weight in the center, and I didn’t like the transition to the bearing. But I was honestly just super stoked to have made a functional yoyo. [](https://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k74/rigo311/PA190125.jpg) The second, which I just finished today, came out much better. I started with the h-shape of the Tres Leches but rim weighted it more and cut out weight from the body by creating more angled walls. It plays very well, with minimal vibe. I don’t have any plans to produce many of these, just a fun project to bring to fruition that I thought I’d share. Diameter: 56mm Width: 43mm Bearing: C Response: BC Pad spacers Axle system: OD Brass Inserts ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/9/f/e9fc3fd86aac88414e38169270495b0187afd655.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/6/1/6613eddc95eacb68707efcbf2ffc08773e17d679.jpeg) ---

> [@Leo](#): > > Nice and clean! What pads u droppin in there? They’re both set up with a single ghost pad. Thanks for all the positive feedback. I decided that the next I’ll do will be a delrin based on what I like most from the Stryker and the Yuuksta. No one has put out an undersized delrin yet - and if it comes out good, I might just have to do a run of them. I’ll post pics when I get it together. Again, thanks for all the great feedback - I do appreciate it. ---

Also, Crucial made the Cream, which is pretty undersized, but it never got any hype at all. I still love mine. ---

I have a Cream and like it, but I consider it more mid-sized at 52mm. I’m thinking something 50mm. ---

I think no one has put out undersized delrins (or just plastics in general) because plastic is too light. However, it you can find a way to make a small delrin with average weight, I’ll love you.
