Okay updates.

For the bearing blanks - I never heard back from YYE about the possibility of stocking these. I put in for a business license, and if I still don’t hear back I’ll make my own site (with blackjack and… nvm) for sales. I’m also gonna go do mr85 and maybe half spec c blanks.

For the yoyo itself. I’ve completed v2 revisions based on community feedback from the PIF. Changes: new gap width of 2.3 mm. Larger response holes. The tiny baby hub replaced with a shallow cone. (Imagine if something like a blood cell sloped linearly down into a singularity instead of being a curve). See pics because I probably don’t make sense with words.

Machine Shop - my original shop raised prices. A LOT. About triple the original quote for 200 units from back in August. It would have been cool to stick with the American machine shop but I went into this wanting it to be an accessible yoyo and not something I have to charge $100+ for just to not lose money, so I’m changing shops. I’m courting some machine shops in Mexico and China at the moment.

I am confident enough though in the new revisions that I’m gonna Leeeeeeroy Jenkins it over doing a second prototype run, but not until that business license is approved because I don’t want to pay sales tax on several thousand dollars worth of yo-yos.
