I like the mystery of the right one. Maybe heā€™s practicing one handed stalls and has his hand behind his back to keep from using it. Or maybe he has a 2nd yo-yo about to go all 2A. Or he just keeping it free and available for the stall here and there. šŸ˜Š ---

The only direct comparison with the 3-in-1 was the axle sleeve diameter. The hardest part was figuring out how to do a number of new processes well for the first time. I actually made two yo-yos - one to test things and the other as the final version. Sizing, centering, and stabilizing/securing the axle nut/bolt was challenging. Also setting the epoxy in a way that didnā€™t leak through or accidentally adhere to the axle and prevent it from unscrewing. Overall it felt like a lot of little opportunities where something could be slightly off and mess it all up. I think it turned out well, but took extra TLC to get there. ---

Iā€™m guessing thatā€™s why TK decided to use a loose nut in the design of the 3-n-1. No need to fiddle with epoxy at all then ---

That, and the ability to do different orientation of the halves. If I did this again, I would probably get some TK nuts and axles. ---
