Hi! i decided to create a yoyo and i drew a really crude sketch of it. i plan on making a 3D model soon can anyone recommend me a good software for this?(free ofc) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/2X/2/20002faf28adfd94ca98cf6ced46f14334b53684.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/removed.png) ---

First step is to develop a rudimentary crude drawing to work from as the one you have now is apparently “crud”? sorry, I just couldn’t resist ---

From the photo, it looks like if it hits you wrong, you’re screwed and it’ll hurt so bad. That spike looks cool but the string would EASILY be caught in it. Looks cool, but it won’t work I don’t think. ---

It’s really kinda cool looking from the sketch. I’m thinking if you are able to really keep those outside edges sharp you may have finally developed the yo-yo weapon the Filipinos were rumored to have so many years ago.

Maybe i should round that out more? My idea was to use a Gfunk sort of shape. Then use AG2 rims And cut that IRG to work in conjunction with the undercut in order to add rim weight while being able to keep the yoyo light weighted ---

Looks great for a rough sketch. Now, you have to work out a few bugs, wall thickness, angles, bearing and response, etc… ---

And yeah I think I might go with A normal c sized KK And 19mm sized pads And everything else I gotta get done some other time! Anyone know a good software? ---

To start off with quick sketches, use google sketchup 8. Won’t get you much past the early stages of development though.
