Joey's 3D Printed Yo-yo's (Up and Running!)

[GarrettMfnMoody]

@jbritter3

Specs:
Diameter 57 mm
Width 44 mm
Weight 59 grams

I was aiming for a little higher on the weight, but I can’t complain for a first prototype.

From what I can tell so far, there’s very minimal vibe. As for the play, I’d have to play with it more to give a more accurate description. I’m going to make enough changes to the next prototype that it probably won’t be similar.

I know the 1A 3D throw east made turned out extremely light too.
i think it was around 60

that’s pretty cool, definitely a different kind of 3d printer thats for sure. and I can make them heavier if I need to, but my main focus has been vibe, print quality, and tolerances.

and here’s some more cool pictures with glow in the dark…

I’m going to be running my company through a facebook page because it’s the easiest. I have one yoyo on the market right now which is glow in the dark, more will be produced soon.

Proto 2 is 69 grams? I’d be all over that. I love me some heavy throws. Really cool, Joey. ;D

Thanks! I’ve got a 66 gram yoyo in the working right now which is just about done, then i’ll work on that proto 2 for you guys who like heavier stuff

[jbritter3]

new proto of a yoyo I’m going to call the wave. This one is going to be around 66 grams when finished, this proto came up to 65.7 grams so I’m going to make some tweaks for the next one.

Update, there are now 3 yoyos for sale on my fb page, a glow in the dark ripple, blue ripple and purple ripple. Those are all for now until I get more hardware from the profit from those 3.

have to say jbritter that looks pretty darn good.

[jbritter3]

working on my fifth proto of the wave. I’ve only made slight changes, but they’re important to me.

I still have 3 Ripples up for sale on my facebook page, a Wave will join soon. After these sell I’ll be able to afford a bigger run of yoyo’s.

I’m also working on an undersized throw just for fun.

[jbritter3]

Here’s a stack of the Wave prototypes. All work amazing and have little vibe, I’m just tuning out weight and how I want it to play along with slight print quality issues in the cup. If you want more info on the prototypes and want to get your hands on me let me know. The weight is going to end up being around 67 grams.

I also now have glow in the dark blue plastic that will be shown in my next post. I’m probably going to start making yoyo’s to order and you can select color, model, etc. I’ll do bundle deals including bundling prototypes in and my new pocket throw that will be shown in a min.

[jbritter3]

Here’s the new pocket throw the Splash in glow in the dark blue next to his big brother the Ripple.

It weights in at 47 grams, which is really light but so fun to play with. This will be the cheapest throw I sell and I will be bundling is in with the other throws.

Just a note, the glow in the dark plastic and blue glow in the dark are more expensive colors to print, especially the blue.

[jbritter3]

If you’re interested in any of these let me know, I can make and sell any of these models or do custom jobs. I’m going to make them once I have an order placed so that it saves me from wasting plastic, so please if you’re interested I’ll do a custom job or make one of the yoyos from my run, everything right now will be $35 shipped, custom will be $45 shipped
