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

Well I’ve got to name it something soon. I’ve made a third of the run already.

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.

That’s a cool weight distribution.

Information on the filament we used is here, its realy incredible stuff. Strength is on par with aluminum.
The material allowed us to print the threads into the yoyo instead of using a nyloc nut. This makes the yoyo play surprisingly smooth on the string.
Since we had such success with the threads our next version we print will have the bearing seat printed right in with a target gap size or 4.5mm, should fix my one minor complaint lol.

This may be critical for a non yoyo project that just popped into my head! 
Thanks!

The strength they list on their website is just over 1/4 the strength of 6061T651 alloy. The alloy and temper of aluminum matter a lot for this sort of comparison.

I’m a bit annoyed by this. I have made some of these coloured POM yoyo for a run I an going to send in, only to find I need to B grade all of them. 
The colour of the plastic is not consistent throughout (you can see that in the closeup photos) and I think that the fact they are extruded rods rather than cast has left some extremely minor surface cracks in the blue ones. They play perfectly, they just don’t look perfect.
Bummer. I’m going to just make a heap more white ones and them dye them red and blue rather than buying coloured rods. Its going to delay the run for a while longer.

I think they look pretty awesome! Not sure that swirly look should make them B-Grade; more like a happy accident.
The only concerning thing to me would be:

B grade for surface cracks sure. But the colour swirls? I dont think thats an issue but ofcourse its your product you might want stricter quality control or something.

I quite like the colour banding.
Agree the ones with surface cracking and blemishes would qualify as a B-grade, but the others?

Thanks for your responses, guys.
I think as long as the red ones don’t have the surface cracking like the blue, I might just keep them for the run.
I’m sure the blue ones even with their surface cracks would still hold up long-term, but they are definitely B grade.

I don’t want to be that guy but that yoyo would look sick in dark green… you’d have pokemon starter colors… looks good though!

but then you would need a yellow color for the pokemon yellow fanboys

True… I feel like color wise and pokemon wise he’s still the 4th choice though

I’m not sure I quite thought through this concept before I actualized it.
I wanted to make a kind of 1A and 0A fusion. This isn’t a new concept. It’s also one that has never really worked.
It’s basically a POM KNack, with a 5mm brass axle instead.
It’s bad.
