Yeah I’ve gotten some requests about the Pokeball one… I still need to find a way to produce it consistently 😓 ---

Made an unresponsove out of white polyester today. It’s different to POM in that it is opaque instead of slightly tanslucent. ![20220319_175943](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/2/9/8292a955d2614377657f66382b0b71eed38a6674.jpeg) ![20220319_175959](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/4/2/c42a2d01a7ef1654be50765e664913fe90705089.jpeg) ---

Well I can sell it to you, but it’s less than perfect. The halves are not entirely identical in the cup, some areas are pretty thin and it vibes a lot. Other then thise things it perforrms great. ---

Probably a boring post so ignore if you want. Been re-thinking and refining my practices in making plastic unresponsives. I’ve been making and grinding my own custom turning tools and modifying my chuck jaws to hold halves without marring them. ![20220323_190045](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/b/9/5b9ab18d43eb80fc83d25a1be35681af9ea24665.jpeg) ![20220319_123516](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/3/3/a338795b3a4f9dba748924d1b9e2d87451591afb.jpeg) ![20220319_120229](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/a/4/3a42a94c80422a53afadcfa8cecad3a06c9c0d3a.jpeg) ---

Are you suggesting I’m a machinist? I take that as a huge compliment if you are. I’m much more of a backyard weekend hack who attemps to turn things on a wood lathe that he probably shouldn’t. ---

You sound like a machinist to me! Us in the industry should never look down upon hobbyists. The hobbyists most of the time are helping keep the passion alive. I plan to invest in my own machine for hobby work in the future. All of my shops machines are large vertical mills used to make molds and aerospace components, i would LOVE to turn some yoyos for fun, keep at it!!! ---

Printed hollow mini prototype. Brass insert heated and pressed worked great for threads and bearing post. Takes OD slim pads.

Added rim weight and went with a nice matte blue. 38x58 at 59.4g ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/5/8/a5827d75d40bb28d193f2f36cf606b3958a0481f.jpeg) ---

Thanks Glen! I would love to make these as a fixed axle option too, where the wooden axle is hollow and has the same inside and outside diameter as a c bearing, but don’t have the capability to make such a thing at this point. Have you ever tried a fixed wooden axle that is as big as a c bearing? ---

I haven’t, but I can do it. I know in theory that it would not make for good fixed play. ---

Yeah I thought it would play really slow and have poor spin times. Best to be content with a half spec bearing I suppose. May try a 3/16 aluminum fixed version of these in the future. ---

Fresh print in what I’m calling the “Magnifier” series. Matte white and matte chocolate brown feels/looks classy somehow. 38x58 60.4 g. Really happy with how these are turning out. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/8/1/f818f718ee6d201a12dd13f40338ea4ae7a9b410.jpeg) ---
