Gonna spin up a couple of rainbow Survivalists today if anyone is interested in purchasing one.

The latest Survivalists I made are the best ones. They are more rounded at the edges for comfort and the 6 hole response is pretty much perfect.

The new slightly more rounded edge seems great! There’s no better time for more survivalists than now too (5A May), these things shrug off serious fixie 5A abuse like it’s nothing.

Yay yay yay! Can’t wait to try it!

Is that so? I could make more if there is sufficient interest.

People would probably receive them at the end of may, though.

Been wanting to try a 3D print for a while now, so I started with some modeling first. Hopefully the print is at least playable.

We have a yoyo! Changed the guts to fit a nut and bolt instead of side effects since the test print was a wibbly wobbly mess. Bearing post and seat were still a bit tight so had to trim them down but after that it was dead unresponsive and surprisingly playable. Bit hefty and has some power behind it. The shape is pretty comfy too. Definitely gonna try and make another!

Failed a wooden yoyo I was making so I made this slimline half-spec C bearing responsive yoyo that nobody will want to buy. Lol. Plays pretty well for what it is. Its made from UHMWPE.

Its surprisingly not bad. Even vaguely good.

I mean, C isn’t my preferred size, but depending on how much you’re asking…

Im selling it in a bundle with two unresponsives I made for $200 shipped.

Made a small and wide Bloodcell out of HDPE.

It’s about 49mm x 40.5mm.

It has serous vibe, but very surprising plays not bad at all. Its particularly surprising how well it shoots thw moon.

I just finished working out a trade with members of the forum from Florida. One of the items I will receive is a Spinworthy skinny Survivalist through axle.

While looking through this thread I noticed at post 734 there is one that looked very similar even down to the locations of the black specs, what are the chances it is the same one? I would imagine that when molded they would be slightly different.

The one I have coming

The one in post 734

I would love to find out more about this.

I would love a standard sized Blood Cell made of the HDPE to match my Survivalist

This yoyo is not made from injection molding. Its a hand turned fixie, made similar to wooden fixies. This was made in a seriously low quantity and I would not be surprised if thats the same one.

@Glenacius_K made that yoyo and he makes INCREDIBLE yoyos.
