Sanding clear plastic yoyos

[hsb]

I was sure that I saw someone post a sanded plastic Butterfly, but Butterfly posts are a big haystack to search.

I did find this by @Glenacius_K:

Frosty SW KN-KN for sale SOLD

I made this prototype Knick-KNack for Kyle, but we’ve decides since that we want to take things in a slightly different direction. It plays pretty well. The finish is not great as there are light scratches all over the faces. Nothing deep, I just difficulty sanding it for a perfect frosted finish. A perfect pocket throw. Specs: Diameter: 48mm Width: 29mm Weight: 48g. It has a press fitted 1/4" AL axle. It won’t come apart unless you wrench it apart with a lot of force. This one is $80 shi…

Which may have started out like this (?):

Show some plastic yoyos you made

This latest Knick-KNack prototype was a 5mm diameter brass axle. Kyle was finding that the 1/4" AL axle prototype was dying somewhat prematurely into stalls. I figured a smaller diameter brass axle would fix that problem. I was right. No dying out in stalls and is much more powerful in general. [20210309_082843]
