Show some wooden yoyos you've made

The issues Kyle didn’t like initially are that it doesn’t return well at low RPM and that string tricks are too responsive. One bit of good news I got from him is that he really likes the KNack XL with the original response. He said is felt ‘like putting on a glove’ for him.

From the wooden yoyo thread. I echoed a bit of a similar opinion above this post. I’m excited to see even more future response ideas, because it feels like a really unexplored design space. The current popular response systems all work really well, but after trying this it does make me wonder if there’s another unexplored option that will wind up being even better.

I have plenty of ideas, yet to be explored.

However, none of any of my response ideas have been purely mine, they just build on what is already been with tweaks.

…that will wind up being even better.

Do you mean that will “wind up even better”?

[Lido (Jordan)]

The KNack is my favorite 0a yoyo, and I understand wanting to constantly improve it. Some ideas that came to mind were 1) countersinking the holes to reduce the friction and 2) spiral the holes so they’re not all the same distance from the axle or maybe just offset them a little from each other (trickier to keep balanced, but your CAD people could probably help with that).

I did not post in a while put I printed a lot

[TheThrowingGnome]

Been missing your posts. That is beautiful @kray!

Did you get a dual extruder printer, or is that just filament swaps?

[Kray]

Thanks . Needed a bit off from social networks. The colors are simply by swapping filament.

What filament are you using these days @Kray?

[RC_yo-yo (Rob)]

Playing with HDPE!

[Kray]

This is a Flex PLA from Creality which is very sturdy.
I build a lot 4A throws and was testing what was the most stable material (ABS, PETG) and found the Flex PLA from Creality and BASF works very well because of its slightly “bouncy” nature.

do you post your .stl files somewhere because I have been looking for a good 3d printed yoyo design

[TheThrowingGnome]

@jeffreypang911 has some designs available. Also check out Layer Infinity and pick up a mod44.

[Joethepoothrows]

great thanks

How is HDPE working out for you @RC_yo-yo ?

What did you get in the mail, 2022?

Okay this arrived last Monday but I didn’t have a chance to post about it last week. Rainbow Survivalist with Glen’s new experimental response. No response holes but instead collars on either side of the axle that increase friction on the string loop. This is my first Spinworthy so unfortunately I can’t compare it to an original Survivalist but I will say that it is very responsive while still being very smooth on the response grab. Can almost be too responsive at times so I need to watch my st…

[RC_yo-yo (Rob)]

I haven’t finished any yet. But it’s so slick I’m wondering what response will be like. I don’t know if I have to drill response holes yet.

[Glenacius_K (Spinworthy Glen)]

These are made from HDPE and respond well, so decent response is achievable.

Just the ones on my desk right now…

Those look amazing! Do some of them have steel inner rings? How do you do that on a 3d printer?
