I made a couple of revisions on the latest yoyo I made. I wanted to improve the weight distribution by thinning out the walls further, but keeping the thick rims. I also schmooved around the response to reduce friction. Lastly I gave it a bit of a sand with 400 grit sand paper. The result is a satin finish rather than shiny. Feels soooooo very lovely and velvety smooth now. It has retained the stability it had, but feels a lot more lively and effortless now to use. It’s much better. Was going to BST it, but everyone seems to be hanging onto their cash for Worlds at the moment. ![20190717_203223](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/d/7/2d7d9734eb08a9b13118a014025fd26a8ab22abe.jpeg) ![20190717_203530](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/2/8/628076ab21b39fe49cbb37610c8839c690f1b6a8.jpeg) ![20190717_203034](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/c/a/dca36e61722d96ead1158bb50988b2f197dbfeb3.jpeg) ![20190717_203148](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/e/1/2e13515c3d278838b5a855066827095040eada31.jpeg) ---

I have neglected to post Sigma Project updates on here, but a few days ago an impressively successful print came out called Psi. I have some more cooking, and with alternative bearing system than the Cabal guts. I’ll try and be more diligent with updates. ![psi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/b/a/0baae531f4324ff8f767b9e582eeb17d26026fb0.jpeg) ![psi_2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/b/8/6b8818d21a8dfb3eb4435f724ba9308428f51cb4.jpeg) ---

Thanks! The rings worked surprisingly well. The rubber was much more friendly than the plastic though. I think the color is more minty in person, probably my favorite so far as well! ---

Had a bit of a workflow win today. I’ve been pretty upset with the acetal chucks I’d made to make unresponsive yoyos. I mount my work pieces by press fitting them to my chuck with a drilled hole in the work piece.They have been melting under stress and welding themselves to my workpieces when the workpiece slips even a tiny amount. The solution was to go back to using wood, so no slip welding can occur and also to make a new chuck for every half turned to ensure the workpiece is secure. The reason why I changed all of my chucks to acetal in the first place was the theory that they would run slightly truer being made of a far more consistent material. It doesn’t matter, wood is perfectly fine. I just use some fat dowel secured in my scroll chuck and turn the diameter down to fit the holes in the half. It worked perfectly tonight. Apologies if this is a bit of a boring post. ![15666406813888281979327239596903](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/4/7/e4742b0f78e29b95f7102bf788de96383dcdd10d.jpeg) ![1566640708745117882445929718578](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/0/9/0094efaeac258066f58a15ec9011c0e4c83333ff.jpeg) ![15666407422321102434128423376206](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/c/d/7cdeda8605ff7fe3412f147edd1dab1aa9fcb9ad.jpeg) ---

Mate, it was a killer. It ruined hours of work. Even when the slip was tiny, even imperceptable at times, it welded instantly. ---

This reminds me of some similar problems I’ve heard about turning steel or titanium - if you let the tool rub against the piece it’ll work-harden, so you actually have to feed faster than you’d think. ---

I made this one today for @threebearrries. It has a floaty and bouncy character with decent spin and stability. It feels powerful enough on the throw to give you the confidence to throw tough combos with it. It’s a lovely and well balanced yoyo that feels great to use. ![20190825_151738](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/4/e/04e2c736f23d4fcc0b47b095e47dd23fc3e5272c.jpeg) ![20190825_151753](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/9/8/898d5dd3c3f81f1846dec818268a0c018a6a4853.jpeg) ![20190825_151730](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/f/7/df7dfc502340eb1bf4bf504d8e148c09aadf5101.jpeg) ![20190825_151520](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/8/2/182204a00a71658508427acfd85863523a4bc877.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/show-some-plastic-yoyos-you-made/301570.md?page=10) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/show-some-plastic-yoyos-you-made/301570.md?page=12)
