Hey folks I have some throws that have annoying vibe on the string and nail

thanks to everybody

Depending on if it’s been dinged alot or not, for me atleast, vibe mostly comes from dirty bearings.

I have seen pads also cause some vibe, and bent axles, or as simple as the YoYo halves weren’t tightened down enough.

I would say clean the bearings, take a look at the pads, maybe flip the axle around, and once the halves are reassembled, the bearing is seated and all that, give it an extra little snug

I 3D print alignment tools for bimetals to reseat everything again

i also heard you could put them on a soft surface like carpet or something and step on em evenly and carefully, with the axle out of course and maybe something between ur foot and nice shiny yoyo haha

i actually did this to a vibey toru .99 and it worked

I don’t think I’ve made any alignment tools for inner ring bimetals. If you end up needing one shoot me a dm and we can work out the engineering details.
