I recent sent my Flying Hut away to be anodized but I guess the anodize was unable to anodize it so he sent it back to me. Now it has a terrible pulsating vibe that will not go away even when I attempt to tune it. Does anyone know what went wrong and Is there any way I can make it go back to it’s old smooth self?

Vibe is common with those so attempt to more tuning. I don’t believe anodizing can cause vibe though

anything that adds or takes away thickness to a concentric design in an unequal manner can induce vibe

I think that might be it because it looks like there is tiny pitting all along the yoyo. I’ll keep trying to dial in the tuning, hopefully I can get it to be at least passable.

I’ve tried swapping out every thing bearing and axle, so far I’m getting the best results (still pulsating but I can play a bit with it) with a kk and a YYF chaotic axle. The original axle came back all rusty, I don’t think the anodizer removed it before anodizing, and I think that could have been part of the problem too.
