As promised
Glen, you truly make amazing yoyos. You make my favorite fixed axels hands down. Beautiful work.
Looks so good!
They may be the best playing plastic fixed axle I make too.
It somehow looks like it’s in motion even in the still photo.
Chonky!!
Def it plays like on rails. Soulless stable LOL. But is partially hollow, so it looks more massive as it is.
I bet it feels super nice to use.
Nice!![]()
It has to be very satisfying to make your own yo-yos, (whatever material they are;)
How resistant is this type of plastic material to shocks?

Looks rad!
Thx ![]()
Your 3D designs are always awesome!
Yeah it is fun. And after one year now I can design them very fast and according to my liking. Was a bit of learnings but now I can do it very precisely. But there is always place for optimizing so I am curious where it will lead me.
I don’t know that this qualifies, but we made a Ladybug yoyo, like in the Netflix cartoon Miraculous. It’s just an Imperial with the paint removed and black stickers.
Still working on KNick-KNack prototypes. Kyle really liked the clear PC version of it so far, but it does die out a little more than average into stalls. Not badly, but noticeable.
I’ve decided to try and mitigate this problem by utilising a 5mm diameter brass axle rather than a 1/4" AL one. The smaller diameter should increase the power of the spin and therefore stall tightness. On the other hand the increased weight of the axle might cancel out this effect. Only one way to find out
I’ll be all about that!
This is stunning! Are you making more of these?
I have one, but I will me making more.
