Show some plastic yoyos you made

Hey @Glenacius_K,
I bought some for my 3D printed Yoyos. They are “Dream catcher” rings to weave a pattern into. They work very well u get different material and sizes. I am located in Europe FYI.

Currently I’m negotiating with a representative of FPM who contacted me about producing my yoyos.

I told them that I make mine by hand but that I’d love to try out the guts hardware they use in the Dove.

There going to send me some samples to test out! I’m really looking forward to seeing what I can make with them.

I also asked for some steel rings from the Raytracer, that I hope to experiment with. Hopefully they will give me a sample of those too!

So excited to see what you can do! Oldest brother glued my Harbinger for me so I been rocking that today.
Edit: Thought this was the “Show some wooden yoyo” Not plastic. :grimacing:

Hey @Glenacius_K,
Found another cool source for rings :wink:
Actually all Boat stores have a lot of small rings to mount ropes. Payed 15$ for 10 → 6x50mm
I do not mind that they are round since I pause the 3D print and put them inside so u do not see them.

I reckon I can make a few yoyos out of this bit of recycled HDPE I bought. Cloudberry stacked for scale.

Here’s a previous yoyos I made with it.

Is this the kind of colour you would get sick of fast? I mean, is it the kind of colour you would have one yoyo made of and not want another?

  • I would only want one yoyo with this colour
  • I would have more than one

No poll needed here Glen. Make a full run of any model in this then ship em to YYE. They will sell out in minutes to hours. Doing polls and making one or two to test the waters is not the best idea imo. Doing a full run and selling through YYE will add to the desirability and will seem more professional than making one or two, trying to sell them through the bst, and showing the material laying on your floor. Again just my one throwers opinion.

I LOVE the look of this material btw. I think the folks who snatch up the rainbow spectreply throws would love it too.
