Ah, I see. I’m not hip on the 3d printers. That makes sense though. So, I guess it’s the same for starburst? You can only really do it if you’ve got a flat cap, basically?

Been wondering about 3D printing then machining on the lathe now I need a printer lol

Loopers are really hard. The tolerances needed to get a proper consistent gap far exceed what my printer can get to. If I had a better printer with linear rails and various other expensive upgrades it’s possible and yjyoyo is doing it with the easy trick but I’ve talked to wayne and the effort isn’t worth it unless your willing to pump out a bunch of them to make back the investment

Yeah that does sound like you could get some cool stuff going if you had access to both.

Yeah my drill press isn’t gonna “cut” it pun absolutely intended

Flowable and pads are doable. I like the spacer holding pads aspect of the Cabal guts, and that part seems hard to source.

It’s all possible just what sacrifices are you willing to make. The moment the sacrifice is apply sandpaper to pla I’m instantly trying to redesign so I don’t have to sand a part.
This is why I buy amazing wood worked projects from other people I hate sanding

Starbursts aren’t good on the 3d printer but you can do a variety of hole responses.

Bro, I’ll be your sander! I find it so therapeutic. I can sand fine details for hourrrs

They are absolutely possibly but you need significantly more expensive gear than what either of us have.

3yo3 used to have some really cool hand turned yoyos available. I feel like the yoyo market back then was way more unique/wild and it’s cool to see people keeping that alive.

This one plays like an unresponsive mini el mijo, which was not a thing I realized I needed until now…

From what I’ve heard from others, his stuff looks exceptional (if you’re into jewels and stuff), but doesn’t really perform well. They are mostly show pieces.
His detail and craftsmanship is excellent.

It depends on the shape. His more recent butterfly shapes play better than the wide loopers. His slim loopers play great as loopers (not many wood looping yo-yos being made) but the one of a kind yoyo means your not getting same pairs of looping wood

Yjyoyo making their easy trick with a cap makes total sense for printing. I should fiddle with designing something like that.
Still would have to sacrifice some stuff to make it work with my printer. Their print farm of prusa out perform my ender3 by a good bit.

I’m interested 
I made a KNick-KNack today. The first one in years. Turned from polycarbonate rod with a 5mm brass tolerance fit axle.

When a joke comes full circle and becomes a yoyo
Last April @Glenacius_K posted this and @antman took the idea and ran with it
So in December I got these two among others. One with an 8mm Euc Grandis axle and the other with an mr64 bearing
Yesterday I got these mr85 hub inserts from @AudreySickburn, reamed out the axle hole to 4mm and to top it off, a 4mm mr85 from the SW Flying Lemon
All up only 53g, so spin time is weak. I need to do a proper bevel on the edge of the hubs, but despite that very little vibe and totally playable
