Not quite Friday, but @yoyo_cubicle’s post about luftverk bearing blanks just reminded me I started something a while back and never got around to making it.

Some lasercut bearing blanks:

Maple: 3.22 - 3.26 mm thick  
Acrylic: 2.68 mm thick  
Luftverk blanks for reference: 3.02 mm thick

Not sure what kind of longevity these will offer, Acrylic and Maple aren’t the most durable materials, but it’s what I had handy. The acrylics are probably too thin, but may work in some yo-yos. The maple fits my Butterfly AL perfectly (Luftverk blank was just slightly too thin and moved around in play a little.) but I haven’t tried them in any other yo-yos.

Any of you fixed axle guys want to test these out? I’d send a few out for free to those interested, let me know.
