Had a bit of time during work, so decided to make a slightly bigger version of the last one I did.
56mm diameter
44mm wide
65 gram
It’s slightly too light for my taste, might make another one with added rim weight but plays fast though.

Next version, changed quite drastically. It was too hard to fingerspin consistent so had to allow more slope towards the center. Thus the outer profile needed changing too.
Same diameter and width but landed at 67.5 grams. Might revise it some more but it’s getting close

Still, having the option to do them easily is nice I think. I kind of like the challenge of adding that to the yoyo.
Just googled the wedge, looks awesome! Probably plays just as good.
I’m not done with this yet, it needs some more work I feel
Added some rim weight, previous halve in picture to compare but kind of hard to see what changed.
Forgot to bring my scales but feels pretty good as it is. Did revert to alu inserts though. Might make a batch of alu inserts and get them anodized. The stainless ones are great but add 3 to 4 grams centerweight.

So, finally got home from work. Seems I gambled correctly as the weight is at 68.2 grams. Previous version was at 64 grams with alu inserts and the first version at 61 with the same inserts. Done with this one.

So this arrived at my doorstep today.
I think I agree with you on the weight. The white one is just a little underpowered. It’s good fun though. The red one is a little undersized. Good chunk of power and stability for such a small plastic.

Going to order some titanium for the guts, I’m using stainless washers and alu inserts at the moment so I figured making it all in titanium should keep the weight around the same.
I only hope tapping that M4 thread isn’t going to be a hassle.
Waiting on the supplier to provide me a price for the material, hoping it’s not ridiculous…
