Unresponsive ultem slim throw would be fire!

This is off topic (kind of), but a Swiss army knife type of yoyo, that had a means of storing things securely on it so that they wouldn’t fall out, with an Ultem outer shell, that’s doable but I really hope there would never be a scenario where I’d have to rely upon it

Lighting it on fire might not be too extreme. @DocPop has a pretty funny story about a kid who’s yoyo “caught on fire” and he tried to return it :joy: Don’t need anymore angry moms.

Please sign me up for one of these when they become available. I seems the perfect yoyo to celebrate my return to everydayness. Thanks!

I’m willing to pay for a proto to be a testor and provide feedback! :wink:

Appreciate that! For v1 I plan on just doing the PIF but, if we collectively begin to feel the gap is too wide and needs narrowing I am considering letting a few folks pay for a v2 proto to help reduce costs on the second proto run.

After further experimentation Serum is my favorite in it. Even the serum thin plays like a champ. Still gotta do the 2 drops of lube on the end of the string, and then it just kicks butt. Plays similar to the ziplines skyline that I had liked in it but a little zippier.

Summer heat triggered a nasty flare up for me so I won’t be repeating this test any time soon but for posterity all afternoon on my car dashboard in the summer.

At 50 Celsius we are a full 167 Celsius below the temperature at which Ultem will start to soften and deform.

With the IRS 1099k threshold of changes I think a run might be less daunting to you

  • For tax year 2025: The reporting threshold for third-party payment networks will revert to the original levels of over $20,000 in gross payments and more than 200 transactions. This change is the result of the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act and replaces the previously planned $2,500 threshold.

Took calipers to all 122 of these today for ID, OD, and width to make sure they were in spec and individually packaged them all into their own little labeled baggies.

@AndreBoulay would you be interested in stocking a mountain of A Bearing Ultem blanks on YYE? Imma keep 2 for myself so 120 of them are open.
