Yes OD 10ball and these center tracks seemed best. Generic concaves were no good.

Thanks!

It weighs around 61-62g (I think?). I don’t have a scale, but PrusaSlicer says filament weight is 58.5g + 3g for bearing, axle, and pads. I’d say it feels like low 60g’s in play. Size is comparable to an OD Terrarian. A tiny bit wider, but near identical diameter. I have hollow triangles in the body to move weight to the rim. Here is the cross section and a pic next to the Terrarian.

Reviving this thread with some pics of recent prints.

Anyone use a Prusa Mini? I think I need two or three.

I’d love to see how one of these would turn out if I mounted it on a lathe and wet sanded it.

The color job and the side effect bearing seat/guts look great @Kray. Don’t think I’ve seen anyone dye a print before.

> Hey all, I thought some of you may enjoy seeing this. I like hubstacks and since they are hard to come by for one drop yoyos I decided to create some. This is work in progress since I ordered a bunch of parts which did not show up till today. But the prototype state looks promising. What are your fav hubstacks?

Happy to help!

I use Fusion 360 and Prusa Slicer.

Here is a good setup video if you haven’t already set it up.

Thank you. I’m just starting Fusion 360 beginner tuts now before I jump into printing anything. I’ll probably do some stuff for the kids at first that I can download, but I want to focus on design before I just start printing for the sake of it.

I am pretty familiar with AutoCAD civil 3D so the transition to F360 wasn’t too bad, but I watched all of the “Product Design Online” YouTube channel Fusion 360 tutorials.
