I used this sort of design which I emulated from the Kasm for MR85, but I’ve found that I can print a bearing seat just fine without it. ---

Hmmm, maybe I’m just being to rough with my M3 axles. I’ve printed 6 and stripped two of them already (though I have been taking them apart repeatedly and messing with them). Or maybe I just need to get some higher quality M3 grub screws… ---

I’m mostly using standard stainless ones from Amazon except for the weird pal Tom Kuhn bearing version, I had to order some m3-.05 x 25mm ones from a specialty supplier and those are carbon steel. Are you using fine pitch or course pitch? Or is there a possibility you have fine for nuts and course for screws? ---

Grub screws and lock nuts are all M3-0.5 thread, stainless, and from Amazon. The tolerances are pretty loose though, would prefer a tighter fit. And of course none of the listings on Amazon show what tolerance the threads are, G, H, etc. ---

It’s generated infill, but it’s also modeled as a separate object so that you can control the infill/walls/base layers/etc of the main part of the yo-yo separately. ---

@AudreySickburn and @TryCatchThrow has successfully. Wood filament kind of sucks to print. It makes a mess of your print area as it sheds a bunch as it’s printed. Easily clogs your printer and it’s way more brittle than pla. Pluses you can sand and stain it easier and the texture is neat. ---
