Hi! I am Fluid Print Guy. This is a new project I have taken on - making yoyos. But we need your help! all I need is to spread the love! Like our Facebook Page for updates! tell your friends!

Fluid Print Dynamics is a small experimental company specializing in producing yoyos using additive manufacturing technology.

This will be the first plastic yoyo in the world to use One Drop side effects! Wide gap, Silicone One Drop pads, C Sized unresponsive bearing, focus on performance every day carry throw. Exciting stuff. Just a fun fact - it take 9 hours to print a single yoyo. NINE HOURS! :o ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/2/9/a293b17069b45d2711a5772705505664fee5bed1.jpeg) Like I said, help this get off the ground. Spread the word, I need your help! Introducing the Playto - a speedy Japanese inspired play style profile and refined cup area for finger spins. The hub area is hollow for maximum rim weight - and you can really feel it. This run will be utilizing Glow in the Dark Filament! More on that later!

You have my attention! How does the yoyo play? ---

If it’s the same one I played at ECR (and I think it is!) it plays light and fun, with just a bit of vibe. People couldn’t stop playing it. ---

Added some weight! will weigh 65, with aluminum side effects. So players can always make it heavier with the brass sets! ---

More info will be released in later weeks! But it will be a 65 gram full sized yoyo. Weve been trying and trying to make it work though! Not as easy as it seems, spent the last 4 days prototyping! [https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/n31/q71/1890527\_224569074398540\_1749450837\_o.jpg](https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/n31/q71/1890527_224569074398540_1749450837_o.jpg) Perfecting the bearing seat… [https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/n31/q71/1799890\_224569031065211\_1535019588\_o.jpg](https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/n31/q71/1799890_224569031065211_1535019588_o.jpg) Price will be $35 if everything works out right - which I think is very fair for a yoyo that uses Side Effects!

Not only are you pushing the envelope in terms of yoyo manufacture, but you’re doing it for an amazing price! Been waiting to see what people would do with 3D printers and yoyos, I’d seen a few attempts before but nothing that looks anywhere near as good as this. I’ll be watching this very very closely. 🙂 ---

If it takes 9 hours to print a yoyo, how on earth can you offer these for $35? ---

> [@Jdrabik](#): > > If it takes 9 hours to print a yoyo, how on earth can you offer these for $35? You are right. I wouldn’t be making much at all if not anything - Electricity is expensive. Also consider 1/2 of the price is the bearing, response and side effect. Batches don’t do anything with our machine as it is not a laser sintering type. If I print a batch of 3 yoyos it takes 27 hours. If you want, I can raise the price. :wink: We didn’t take on the project to make money. We took it on as a thank you to the yoyoing community. We price our yoyos to the lowest price possible without us losing money. I hope you can support us in the same way we want to support you guys by spreading the word of this company/project. I hope this sets the tone for the company. Cheers ---
