I am becoming interested in designing my own yoyo, but I can’t figure out how to design one on CAD. The CAD software that I have is Rhinoceros. I thought it would be great if someone could post a video of them designing one on a CAD software, Rhino would be nice, and then post it. That would be great!

Wasn’t that my first and only bump of the day? Does the original post count? I do apologize if it does. Sorry.

the original post does count towards the bump

The best way I’ve found is to design the yoyo and then just do a revolve to get the full design

So you’d design it like you had cut cut a yoyo half into fourths and then you just deisng from the side view of that
