Aluminum alloys used for yoyos

i just died

Is that an artists rendering or an actual yoyo?

I was wondering that myself.

welp I want to think it’s 3d but…

I need that!

I have analyzed this closely…it most definitely is NOT an artists rendering.

agreed

Actually it could be a render. If you have played around with photo-realistic 3d rendering before, I’m sure you’ve seen some unbelievable stuff. The lighting is somewhat odd, I don’t know if it was the camera or pseudo-ambient light.
This was what I got back then, I’m not an expert on this but I can get it this far. Imagine what a skilled person can do.

That’s pretty cool what you did there.

Whether NeoHamster’s was a render or not, he plans on making monometals out if that stuff and I’m excited about it.

Yeah, I hope he makes a monometal. Don’t get me wrong, the masamune and hideyoshi look great and the price isn’t bad… until you take a good look at the exchange rate… yeah

Super pumped about this one though :slight_smile:

Yeah… The exchange rate is giving me grief too… The Masamune is like, 300 AUD…

320 CAD here

Actuality it’s about 320 here too.

Yeah…your picture there is obviousley rendered…you can tell easily by the mis-matched pixelation.

okay…

Is very real, a nice yoyo made of Aluminum 7068, and will cost around 100! :slight_smile:

Is 7068 significantly stronger than 7075?

ā€œAn aluminum alloy with the strength of steelā€
"7068 alloy provides the highest mechanical strength of all
aluminium alloys and matching that of certain steels. This
outstanding alloy combines a yield strength of up to 700
MPa (up to over 30% greater than that of 7075 alloy) "

It looks kind of similar to the Hideyoshi. Can you tell us its specs? This may be my first Sengoku if things go well.
