There have been some production delays, but I’ve been sent at the very least a photo of some of them assembled.
This is a project for sharing, so you get to see the blurry photos, too!

Got the big box on Tuesday. Planning on testing this weekend, also working on another video for the design series that documents this part of the process.
Desaturated to save some colorway reveals for later!

So if everything is all set and assembled and packaged, what is the testing?
Just curious what actual goes into testing, i guess i will have to wait for the final installment of video series
I have to test and inspect each one before packaging them. They go into an Mk1 box with a string and a sticker.

Quick 15 minute discussion about fingerspin design elements. There’s a good reason why they aren’t used on every yoyo design - I go over why and talk some numbers in this video.
The short version is that you have to add a lot of center weight to a yoyo to get a good centering slope. A design can either just accept the weight, remove weight elsewhere, shorten the axle considerably, or change the design considerably.
I usually like to think of a mass “budget” when designing something - there’s some upper limit to total weight that I consider depending on overall dimensions and intent. Sometimes, the desired moment of inertia is easy to hit within a budget, and that’s when I look at fingerspin elements. Other times, the finger spin is a key part of the design, and everything else is molded around it.
