IMPORTANT:THIS STUFF IS ALL REALLY OLD, VISIT PAGE 10 FOR PICTURES OF OUR ACTUAL PROTOTYPES!
hey guys, i just created this topic to say that me and my friends form the yoyo group BLTyoyoworks, and we may soon start creating our own yo-yos! not sure ho its going to work out, or if we will even sell them, but we’re hoping for the best. here are some of our designs so far:
obviously these are not final, and i’m almost sure that only a select few of these will be sent in for creation. and the reason that some of them look similar is that some are different versions of the same yo-yos.
so come yoyo community! bring in the suggestions!
also, one more thing, just so you know, though we have the designs set and ready with all the correct measurements (on most) we still don’t yet have a good manufacturing company. so though these look nice, there is still a relatively large possibility that we will not have these made. if any of you people have info on this, please let me know immediately.
keep in mind these were mostly for looks, just to see the shape. i have since modified a few of our favorites to be more producible. for these i was using blender, but i just got autocad and will be making them in that from now on.
I use to be on Foxland’s team haha. Alvin is a super friendly guy, given he had the time, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind whipping a few things up for you guys. However he’s been extremely busy lately so I wouldn’t contact him just yet.
I’d take some of the advice from the other forum members here and try to pick about 1-3 designs that you really like and focus on getting them to the prototype stage. Honestly, I’d only pick 1 or 2 as you don’t want to start off overwhelming yourself and putting out a sub-par product.
If you’d like, let me know when you guys think your ready and I’ll put in a good word for you with Alvin and the rest of my old crew over there.
thanks ill look into him if we don’t find help in our friends. yeah, we for sure won’t going to release all of these. they’re just ideas. we just got together and thought up as mangy ideas as we could, modeled them in blender, then posted them here so that we could see which ones you guys liked best, so we could know which one to manufacture. i think were going to start out with number 10, then 7 i think.
Sounds good. And I was on the team around Worlds 2010, though at the time I wasn’t comfortable with competing and felt I wasn’t good enough to represent the company to the fullest so I made the decision to leave. However the “team captain”, Zach Smith, is one of my best friends so all of us are still on great terms with each other and I still support them when I can.
Though I am not sponsored by anyone currently.
Just give me a shout when you guys got some solid designs down that you’d really like to have checked out and I’ll let Alvin know and see if we can get something going. Alvin can really use any software such as Autocad, Surfcam, Mastercam, Delcam. He always suggested to me to try out Surfcam and Delcam though Autocad is usually the most popular. You guys seem to have it handled though if you’ve gotten this far.
