Now, I wouldn’t update, but, I’m going to be experimenting w/ Solidworks, and, if I get the hang of it, I’ll be able to make designs w/o Photoshop sketches first.
Yeah, I know, but it still took 1.5 hrs to DL, and then my comp went blue on me
Oh, and, I figured I’d share the sketch for the updated Infin8ty, seeing as how the other design, to me, looked too much like a Severe or Supernova.
This one takes roots in YYR, Turning Point, and an old U-shape design I never showed anybody.
^^What I mean is they inspired me to make a U-Shaped Yoyo of this style^^
Not a copy. You may look at all of the designs. You will find similar elements, but everything was refined to match my idea, and, TBH, I didn’t really use any yoyo as a reference. I just remember the U-style Turning Point Uses, and decided to make it slightly more pronounced, and build around it.
This sketch looks similar to TP Leviathan, but has a few notable differences.
thinner width, by proportion.
Not as smooth. (Not really rounded. Will still be rounded, but still w/ Edges. Similar to YYR’s round edges)
Tapered gap.
Not as bulbous. Steeper.
More U-Shaped than Butterfly or Concave.
I really like this design because it has the elements of some of the best elements of some of the best elements:
YYR’s Edges (Perfect median)
Slight U-Shape that Turning Point Has (More pronounced than Turning Points, though)
Tapered Gap
OD 10 Ball Bearing (Amazing)
Enjoy. If I can get w/ Cameron and get this CAD, I will actually get this prototyped Around (or During March. May wait til April, so I can actually get something for my B-Day) March, instead of the Ferudoctus.
Hmm, it appears that I have learned the ways of Solidworks
Now, it’s time to get a bit more serious.
This will be our first proto, to provide some time for Cameron to relax.
Even better, I made this after 6 painstaking hours on 1 yoyo while still figuring out what to do.
So, please take a moment to observe.
Specs:
Diameter: 55.12mm
Width: 41.91mm
Weight: Approx. 63-64g (After further review, about 33.5)
Response: Flowable Silicone
I’m hoping this won’t need tweaking, but, as light as it is, it just might. We’ll have to find out.
Anyway, keep in mind this is a V2 of the Infin8ty, which means that there will only be 1 more design to come out of us this year - The Harbergeon, which I will be working on from here on out.
