I dont know what your long term goals are with Spinworthy. I dont know how the process works to sell yoyos on YYE. With that being said, here we go.

Why not just make 1 run of yoyos a year for sale by YYE and take the 20+ weeks to make them. Doesnt matter if that’s 20 weeks in a row or spread out when you feel like cranking out yoyos. During the rest of the time, keep innovating your yoyos, learn new techniques, make that beautiful one off piece of art. I dont want you to stress about this and lose the love for it. You have talent. You work hard to hone that skill.

This is very surprising to hear. Seems like a small volume of yoyos for that

He’s made a lot of yoyos over the past year or so. But still, it is surprising.

Not more then any plastic throw. I have now about 50 throws done. So I know my models and my printer settings. Even with very quick print/quality I can manage results which are comparable to a replay pro. If I crank up the settings it gets even smoother.

From what I’ve heard from you and @jeffreypang911, it seems that 3D printed yoyos yoyos can be really smooth! I always figured that making round objects needed to be turned to be smooth.

Not easy to answer question. I would recommend to by minimum for around 400$. But there a lot of pro and cons and questions about durability, changeable parts and so on and on

I have an ender 3 pro so around the $400 mark after a few upgrades. If your willing to take the time to calibrate it all at first then they are fantastic but to me they are hobby printers more so than open an etsy shop printers. People do and you can but to me they are more for learning and happen to be able to print amazingly sometimes.

Here we go with a new proto. One I enjoying a lot. I added a video me playing my proto in case somebody wonders if I use my own throws.
