Show some plastic yoyos you made

Still making POM yoyos lately. I’m streamlining the process to make them quicker and easier to make and best of all; cheaper.

Finishing is a huge time eater, so I’m practicing just finishing straight from the tool with no sanding or polishing. This little organic seems to look pretty good.

Me personally, I love the machining marks

Thy’re actually very slight. Looks a lot worse in photos and the finish is really smooth.

Here is the same as the black one I just made in white. It’s just as good as the first one too. This one is a hair lighter at 61.7g.

I intend to get serious with this one and make a small run. That is,if the world wants yet another organic yoyo.

I’m not sure what to call this model. I’m thinking Lil’ Ripper. Maybe.

With those curves, you should call it Jayne, after Jayne Mansfield.

Printed from Onyx filamet (carbon fiber impregnated nylon). 56x46, pure organic, about 63g. My only complaint is the gap width is a little narrow. We used the Luftverk 3d printer spacers, but i didnt know that had a gap of <4.2mm.
