Hey all, some people asked me about the 3d printed fixie that I used for Fixed Axle February this year. I promised to release it to the public once I’d done a bit more testing and tweaked the design a little bit. Well today’s the day!
The yoyo (please read the description carefully as there are some helpful tips to improve playability):
Some basic matching counterweights that I created for Modern Responsive March:
Thanks to my muse, @Captrogers for testing out the prototype and inspiring ideas to reduce the barrier to entry. Most notable changes to the design were:
- the inclusion of a 3d printed axle as an alternative the 8mm x 20mm wooden dowel which can be hard to source and
- use of standard 19mm silicone response pads over flowable silicone (although you can still use flowable silicone if you want to).
Specs:
The yoyo comes in 2 weight classes. 48g standard, and the Capt. Rogers special edition which comes in at 55g.
