Hi! What programs can I use to design a yoyo to the specs I want(and weight) besides google sketch up? Google sketchup doesn’t work well for me. And I can’t figure out how to do the response area and the bearing seat! ---

You can get student versions of most of the Autocad software. It’s free, but you can’t use it for commercial use. Still, though, it’s better than any other free program you’re gonna get. ---

Rhino3d. Works great and there is a free trial. You can export in any format you will need and its pretty simple to use when you get the hang of it. If you need more help, pm me. I can also CAD a rough sketch if you want to get the idea of what it’d look like. ---
