Ok, here are all the pics of the Kraken (the isometric pic is on perspective mode, the rest are on orthographic to give a more accurate idea of the precise shape)
Do you have a cross section pic of it?
Sorry it took me so long to respond. Iāll get on that right now (plus cross-sections of the other designs too).
EDIT: Actually having a bit of a tough time figuring out how to do cross-sections. Still getting used to this software.
Do you know the specs yet ???
Kraken

Wanderer:

How many undercuts could you cram into one yoyo? 4? 5? 8? 14?
Are you saying you want more undercuts? XD
I think it would be tough to pull off more than 2 without it looking bad, but who knows.
Top Yo.
Double Zero. Look it up.
Pretty sweet double undercut design. I like how it approximates a smooth, organic shape.
Yeah man! The Double Zero is the only one that comes close to your design of the Kraken.
Any luck? This is the most important view because you can determine if your features are machinable.
The specs look pretty good, just make the gap width smaller. I could see 5mm definitely leading to some slippy binds.
Hey, just saw this thread and wanted to say those are some wicked cool designs. One thing though, arenāt the gaps a bit wide? Maybe itās just me but I prefer a 4-4.6 (at the most) gap width.
Yeah I realize the gaps are on the wide side. Itās an easy fix, though. Still some tweaking to be done before Iāll consider them āproduction readyā (although if I do ever get to produce any, it wonāt be for some time).
As for the cross-section, Iām still struggling with that area of the software. I can get a pic of the sketch easily enough, but I still have to figure out how to get a section view of the 3d model.
Huzzah
Hereās a cross section of the Kraken
Design looks really interesting, but this looks like itās going to be a pain to machine.
If you plan on running those then I definitely recommend changing the outer rim undercut.
Looks nice and floaty. And expensive to machine
If youāre talking about how it goes down to a point, I totally see what youāre getting at. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I can flatten that a bit no problem to make it more feasible.
As for MyNameIsZen, is it the same feature youāre worried about? Or is there another feature that could be a problem? Iām still very new to all this so donāt let any mistakes slip by me.
Hereās the updated cross section. It shaved more weight off than I was expecting, so I still need to add some more material to the inner rims to bring it back to normal, but hopefully Iāve managed to fix the undercut problem.
