I would love to give it a spin or several. Please put me in line. Hopefully I’ll get my hands on it before the production version is available.
Would love to give this a spin . In! Such a fun project to see being done.
Okay boxed up and set to go out to the Brandons tomorrow!
This biscuit feels so nice in the hand
tiny nit pick is I almost want a slightly larger dimple or even just more rounded so it’s a smooth feeling across the top surface
as for the play lubed it’s nice but I really think it’ll need a bit less weight and a small bit smaller gap or rough up the axle but I won’t do that oN the PIF
my issue is consistency. I’ll throw it hard and sometimes it’ll just slip and not return and that’s a tad annoying. I also can’t snap start very easily in it.
It’s only the first day on it and I’ll be tinkering with various string as well but my initial thoughts while I mess with it.
Overall I really like it but so far a v2 does feel warranted in my opinion
Appreciate the investigation. I’ll be curious to see how other folks feel about the weird little hub. I’m quite fond of it and the different texture it brings when rubbing it but it might be divisive
I get that and can appreciate the intent even if it’s not my preference it doesn’t detract in a way to make me not still want one.
Now that I know the axle holds up well I wonder if I could get a batch of Ultem bearing blanks manufactured…
Okay sent files for mr85 blanks to the shop to price out Ultem, brass, PEEK, and solid teflon blanks.
This is very intriguing!
I’m super interested in blanks always interested in blanks honestly. I’ll take one if every size and material lol
Teflon is so slippery I bet it would glide like a bearing
The shop I used for the yoyo priced the tiny blanks about as high priced as the entire yoyo so I’m gonna shop around a little at some other machinists.
