Hey @MarkD,
Have any New projects on the go? Where can I be updated regarding your developments?
And do you have a ETA of Exia restock at YYE store? Thanks!

I’ve ordered a 2nd run of Exias, so we’ll probably see them in early 2021.
There are 3 prototypes in various stages of testing/design/waiting for manufacturing, the one that will be released first is an organic:
It’s 62 grams. There’s a bit of discussion about it in the CAD/Prototyping thread, and while I’m really happy with how it came out, it needs a 2nd round of prototypes to get it perfect. First time for Mk1 - but it’s also something that I can afford to wait a bit on given how much momentum the Exia has.
Anyhow, the vibe on this is to do regens and make cool dinging sounds. the aesthetics include big round rims, schmoove grooves, and a cup that is like the Diffraction steps but pushed out like a fresnel lens.

I will refer to this trick as the “Game of Thrones” because of how great the beginning and middle was.

Raw contact halves.
The hub design was based on the Diffraction’s hub, with concentric steps/rings, but pressed into rounded shapes, similar to fresnel/lighthouse lens.
This allows it to take a longer axle (10mm) while reducing center-weight, which was important for this design because it was intended to be 62g or less.

Absolutely awesome. Looking forward to this one.

Is it weird that the comparison to a lighthouse lens makes me want to try it even more?
I definitely am keeping a lookout for this, a MK1 organic sounds amazing.

I actually just learned about that whole lense at a lighthouse tour me and my fiancée took on a coastal road trip so I think that’s super dope too haha.

Any chance of getting a raw one, or are they all to be blasted?

There’s a small number that will stay raw, more than previous yoyos I’ve made. Still weighing coolness factor vs. durability/longevity of the bearing post.

Looks so great @MarkD! I’m so intrigued how that convex center hub will feel on a fingerspin!!!
