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.

As promised :grin: Glen, you truly make amazing yoyos. You make my favorite fixed axels hands down. Beautiful work.

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.

New round. Heavily influenced by the minimal shape of an edge beyond. Hard edges and undersized

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!:+1:t2:
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?

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
