Huge shout out to @AudreySickburn, we did a trade of wares and they sent me a huge care package. Andy designs some wild and fun yo-yos. They were also kind enough to print me some replacement parts for the wing mechanism in my original 1995 Buzz Lightyear toy that is now a one of my son’s favourites.

A sleeper in the collection is the heart button yo- yo that is printed with a 60% brass HTPLA filament. I really like the shape and weight of it - it’s a great challenge and fun fixie that plays great. It’s all printed as one piece.

The initial product was a big rough in texture but looking into the material I found out that I could sand and polish it! (something I have lots of experience with jewelry making).

BAM! I am so thrilled with how it turned out! It feels almost like metal now! lol it a weird and super cool material!
