Does it have a bearing or is it fixed axle? :thinking:

It’s got a Center Trac bearing

Really? Did you use an existing yoyo bearing seat? If not what is the bearing seated on? Like… does it actually spin lol?

The bearing seat is a conviniently fitting straw and some tacky glue :joy: but yes, it spins

This is gonna sound really stupid, but does anybody want to take this idea and full on produce it? I don’t got the materials or confidence. Any people who wanna collab?

Have fun with it. Perfect it. Teach kids of all ages how they can make a yoyo.

I think the obvious solution is to get FPM to fab this in titanium.

I’ve seen FPM a couple of times on this forum. What does it stand for?
