It’s would actually be thinner. Probably gave it the play characteristics they wanted! ---

Made this one from an engineering grade polyester. It has a very similar density to acetal. I wanted to try something very wide and also try undercutting the rim which worked out really well. I also wanted to make the cup curvier rather than stepped like I usually do. It’s wider than it’s diameter. Specs are 56mm x 57.6mm @69.5g. Plays fine, but I don’t like it. Lol. ![20190706_212255](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/6/b/c6bb7b2982720a3b39d3af5208ab44b4cf65af99.jpeg) ![20190706_212318](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/1/4/714bea0fab385f014fac42b0327b53d9bcdd7c5a.jpeg) ![20190706_212156](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/5/e/15e3d8e95c6f713b3a3ed43ced6c494a02f60780.jpeg) ![20190706_212245](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/4/c/04cf35dd770aebb2048634db7f844ae8eaaee54d.jpeg) ---

Yeah, it just may be. I really don’t like over wide yoyos, I’ve just discovered. It was a bit of an experiment to test out the material and also how deep I can shape the cup with the new tool that I’d made recently. It worked exactly as planned. ---

Tonight, I made an acetal chuck to help me improve my turning tolerances. I used it to re-machine the ultra wide polyester unresponsive I made and it is **much** better! It is lighter and virtually vibe free. In fact, it vibes less than my WA Shutter. It’s also a lot lighter at 64.5g. ![20190708_200924](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/1/c/11c4b33ec8b16d4b42ab2b7a6f77b75ecc968c62.jpeg) ![20190708_200707](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/6/0/d601999264981b8ed55994e207d5a08e5de785aa.jpeg) ![20190708_200955](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/7/f/77f83b55800bdacc13df5d43c5a31c8a8570fe75.jpeg) ---

Ended up returning it inside and out. The problem of the first time was that the wooden chuck I made to mount it for turning the cup was not spinning accurately enough. The new acetal chuck is far superior because it is a more dimensionally stable material that isn’t hygroscopic. So it wont expand and contract anywhere near as much with atmospheric changes. ---

That plastic I used is actually way more expensive than acetal. There will be extremely few yoyos I will make out of it. ---

Hello everybody, I’ve been working on some yoyos. Kind of gearing them towards being playable right off the printer - minus the usual post print care and the flowable I used for response. Regular pads fit, but I hadn’t used flowable yet, and I figured I’d learn with these. These have no post print work done just because I haven’t had time. ![IMG_2871](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/9/5/695d5e11cb859e843786a04fc9d6e7f732b8b0fa.jpeg) ![IMG_2872](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/2/7/927b7f4604a767a1ef461a31659e89d635d0baa7.jpeg) The one on the left actually used SLA printing, instead of FDM. So it’s way smoother right off the printer, and more precise. Unfortunately the design tolerance was for a less precise printer and the air release gap for the bearing is ever slightly too big (which makes the string slip beside the bearing. I’ve been accumulating a lot of knowledge from the forums and discords. so thank you everyone for talking to one another. The SLA ran me about $12, and the one on the right was $2.50. If anybody wants to see I have write-ups and cad files for these. I also have another one printing now, I’ll post it sometime this week. I brought them to nats and Andre gave his “these are actually pretty good” seal of approval. ---

I really like the concept of a 3D printed yoyo. The grey one looks really nice. You should maybe use a domed nut instead of a hex nut on the axle end. It may make it a little less sharp. You will probably have to saw a little of the bolt off for it to fit. ---

I’m curious… if someone was to print a yo-yo (or a spin top) on a 3D printer could you then put that yoyo or top on a lathe to clean up the roughness? Will the printed item hold together well enough? ---

unless I’m mistaken, cleaning it up on a lathe was part of the process that Kyo used for his 3d-printed yoyos.
