The bearing seats on that look so small ---

It’s an MR85 bearing so the seats are indeed quite small. ---

In theory after using the blank a bit to coat the string you could move it to a traditional bearing throw and take advantage of the teflon. This would make the blank wear down a bit faster but would be really cool. ---

I don’t think I’m technically allowed to link to it since it’s an external shop, but if you google for Sickburn Yo-Yo Workshop or ReturnBottoms you should find it. ---

Yeah I did try to get them stocked here lol. In the end it probably works out better for the community I guess since I’m offering all the blanks at my cost and everything would cost more through YYE. ---

I got my refund! I’m making a couple small tweaks, a slight additional gap reduction and a small structural change recommended by the new machine shop to improve strength. Then I’ll place the new production order with Rapid Direct. ---

I have all the trash grades. They let me keep them. I’m on the fence about including them like I originally planned with orders though, just because some could pass visually as an A grade and I wouldn’t want someone selling a trash grade in the future to defraud someone :thinking: My laser engraver isn’t powerful enough to permanently mark Ultem. Plus I don’t know for sure these are Ultem. If they are resin like I suspect then they could pose a hazard to someone when broken. Not sure yet what to do with the giant pile of trash grades lol. ---

I kind of want one or two of the trash grades to be honest….
