Show some plastic yoyos you made

Got a dial indicator for my lathe. This will greatly increase the accuracy of my turned unresponsive halves. Smoother spinning from here on in.

And this is even better. I fitted a 4 jaw independent chuck onto my lathe. It’s meant for a metal lathe, but it will drastically improve the accuracy of my plastic unresponsives. With this, I can always mount my halves and adjust the chuck until they spin within .01mm accuracy.

Decided to bring a little more 68g into yoyo today.

Right! To be given a yoyo is very cool. To be given a yoyo by someone well advanced in skill is flippin’ awesome!

I’m tempted to scrap the unresponsive run I’ve started and just smash out a run of 20 of these next holidays instead.

That recycled rainbow material is amazing. You’d sell 20 with a quickness.

I certainly think it would sell much better than my unresponsives.

I think a slimline with bearing out of this material might be a hit.

Not easy to.achieve, unfortunately. The material creeps a lot, so it doesn’t handle the compression of the cap and bearing seat against the wall. Eventually you just can’t tighten the yoyo properly. Having said that, while it’s working, it’s great.

If this ends up happening I would definitely be down to buy one. The material looks gorgeous.

An o-ring would probably fix it?

Absolute beauty dude!

I refitted the yoyo I made the other day with an 8mm AL axle and now it’s a fantastic 0A yoyo! A true POM Knack.
