Try switching from isometric to perspective. Itâs a huge favor to the eyes.

Shielded bearings(10ball) weigh 2.2 grams
Response pads(flow groove) weigh .22 grams each or .44 grams per set
Axle(m4x.7 thread) weighs ~.065 grams per 1mm of length. So a 16mm long axle weighs 1.04 grams.

Both look pretty good, especially the Pathfinder! I just would like to see the rims on the Wanderer be a little less bulbous.

Pathfinder looks like it would be an awesome delrin. May I ask what software you use?

They actually arenât that bulbous at all haha. Thatâs the perspective mode playing tricks. I can upload a pic in orthographic mode to give you a better idea of the actual shape.

Maybe. JUST MAYBE. If we can gather money/resources more reliably.
But, not the near future :wink:

Ok, I spent enough time staring at your design, lol.
Now for the bad news. Nice round rims, I like that. Transitioning to a reverse down slope(evilyo style), I like that. Now⌠For the âfunny spotâ. That little Speed bump(raised ring) right at the corner of the gap. Your design âflowâ is lost right there. There is really no known advantage for that.
We all know that regardless of the shape of most yoyos, the center of the gap is always âin the middle of the yoyoâ. ( Insert âduhâ, here). That being said, Yoers still have a tendency to hit the gap off center, especially when moving quickly through combos. When you have a raised ring, coming off a reverse wall, your string will âclickâ as it deflects off that raised ring. You should âlose that ringâ so the yoyo wall flows into the gap just like the Quake.
You may have noticed that Both owners of One Drop have posted in this thread. They read the Boards much more than people would think. And neither of them brought this to your attention. But at the same time, you can research and review Every single yoyo design and finish line production yoyo from One Drop and you will find âNoneâ that incorporate a raised ring transitioning off a reverse wall, into a gap.
Realize what may be visually appealing, is not necessarily technically functional.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I totally see what youâre getting at there (and will fix it as soon as possible). Fortunately, I wasnât planning on implementing this feature on any other designs. I also wasnât considering performance with the Wanderer so much as I was with the Pathfinder.
Letâs also keep in mind, I first started truly designing yoyos three days ago. I still have a lot to learn. Iâm really glad people have been willing to provide their critiques and advice so I can make future designs even better.

Currently, the RecRev Delrin Octave 3 is the only Delrin with an undercut.
