So I designed a yoyo and I’m looking for some feedback. How much are you willing to pay for something like this? Would you pay $70 for it? Would you pay $70 for bead blasted and raw or $55 for just raw? Anything you would change about it? The final products will have bearings and axles. Please leave what kind of bearing and string you’d like it to ship with. Please leave any questions or comments in this topic. Does any one know how to use emachineshop? I wasn’t able to do much on ems. If this goes well, I’ll probably start my own company ;D. On to the pictures Scrapped my other designs, made another. Diameter: 55mm Width: 44mm (without bearing) Weight: 66g (without bearing or axle) Material: 6061 Aluminium Finish: blasted and raw or just raw New Design, cup made for finger spins ;D [http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o636/TaDoey/step1\_zps00fb1856.jpg](http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/TaDoey/media/step1_zps00fb1856.jpg.html) [http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o636/TaDoey/step2\_zps04de38a7.jpg](http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/TaDoey/media/step2_zps04de38a7.jpg.html) [http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o636/TaDoey/step3\_zps28e96d5b.jpg](http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/TaDoey/media/step3_zps28e96d5b.jpg.html) [http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o636/TaDoey/step4\_zps64678a8c.jpg](http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/TaDoey/media/step4_zps64678a8c.jpg.html) Thank You for Looking! ;D Scrapped the redesign, follow the link to see it: > **[Photo Storage](https://s1151.photobucket.com/user/TaDoey/library/Step?sort=3&page=1)** > > Store your photos and videos online with secure storage from Photobucket.

Looks great I would probably pay 75 for 50 for prototype the only thing is i would add a second lip on the catch zone toe keep the string from hitting the majority of the yoyo for horizontal play ---

The first one I tried to keep it the same as the first design as much as could ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/e/7/2e7989a3ea02255816a7557bd5eeb905cbaaf816.jpeg) The second one is more similar to the second design she did: [http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2847/9317596287\_0c3d906dd4\_b.jpg](http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2847/9317596287_0c3d906dd4_b.jpg) Also if anybody needs some CAD work done PM me. ---

I wasn’t really trying to copy the shape, but I kept on thinking that someone would see some similarities. They are different however and the thing that I want people to focus on is the cup. Also, I didn’t mean anything bad when I said that I was afraid the shapes were the same. The Lunarwind looks like a beast!
