I sound like a broken record lately, but I have been hooked to responsive play the last 6 months.
Are there any upcoming releases (that can be shared at this point?)
Modern responsive, fixie, whatever. As long as it is designed for tug responsiveness
Anything can be responsive if you get creative!
Not much in the short term that I’m aware of. Mowel dropped some neat 3d printed responsive recently and clyw is working on a budget wood with tmbr designing it but no word when that’s coming.
Worlds might have some news but usually that’s more focused around 1A unresponsive.
I’ve seen some insta content that implies that Jon Gates is working on Retro Gamer 2.0.
As I believe you know, for fixie and 0A there are a ton of independent makers both turning wood and 3D printing throws. I think if you’re looking for something specific all you need to do is ask 
School’s almost out. We could ask @Eric_Newlin very nicely if he’s got a summer project 
I will say, you and the other 3d printers are doing the Lord’s work and are unsung heroes deserving way way more praise imo
I’ll tease prototype photos of what will be my signature unless plans fall apart. I can print polycarbonate on my new printer so it’s probably going to be printed in that for durability once the design is finalized.
Also I have like 20+ designs I’ve modeled and not gotten around to printing, refining, etc. 
And like Keith said if you have something specific in mind you can just ask. Like one of the reasons the Waffle Stomper plays so good is @Pun1sh3R asked if I could combine my 3d printer brake pads with an mr85 and the results were excellent.
New Batch of XTs
Love the irradescent colors, shape (especially the inner high walls), MR85 branding, TMBR/Tom Kuhn inspired inners (so cool looking), interchangable wood or MR85 axle, wow, you are putting together a masterpiece
Edit: Is the response going to be akin to the SB2, adjust the gap to get the proper response, and add a turbo disk if more grip needed?
I feel this so hard. Soooo many designs have either never been printed, or a first prototype was printed, redesigned to fix a few minor issues, and then the v2 was never printed.
Yep. One of us might already have a design for whatever it is just waiting to be made!
Already feels like the both of you made the yoyos I never knew I wanted with the Honeycomb and WaffleStomper lol.
Just keep doing what you’re doing, you’re killing it. If something ever crosses my mind I’ll reach out, thank you
It won’t be a proper adjustable gap… probably but the idea of one of the threaded seats accepting SB2 bearing seat nuts is on my mind and a possibility. Right now these get threaded in firm.
I’m working on bearing seats in the following configs…
unresponsive a, unresponsive d, unresponsive c, responsive a, responsive d, Tom Kuhn I bearing, MR85, MR85 unresponsive, MR74, MR63, 685 responsive, 685 unresponsive, and finally No Jive axle.
So far the unresponsive versions are vibing so I may end up only doing the responsive seats.
I understand now, so each insert is a different bearing seat, is the response going on the insert around the actual bearing seat? I assume so, and are you thinking break pad for all configurations (unsure if the insert is big enough to accompany the insert but looks it.)
Even if it couldn’t be smooth enough for unresponsive play, the ability to have different axles from different materials for responsive play is awesome as they all give a different feel, response and spin time to various degrees
Yeah the seat is big enough to fit an entire response pad. It’s a 30 mm diameter thread with 2 mm threads.
The seat post is notched for a nickel or 3d printed key to thread and unthread the seats. Small bearings like the I and MR85 will get brake pads.
A lot of the other bearing types I’m going to print custom pads for if there isn’t already a standard. The c bearing takes slim 19s, the d bearing takes freshly dirty pads. The brake pads are too big for the Mr63 is which the tiniest bearing it’s outrageous, so it’s gonna get custom pads. The a bearing will, 685s, etc will probably also get custom pads.
So stinking cool, and thank you for the great break down
nice pomade lol, but i prefer https://youtu.be/4hni4OIJXG4?si=kptWaToi9NA-Wkke&t=52Dapper Dan for my yoyos. Im a Dapper Dan Man!
Lol, love it. I’ll have to try some Dan sometime
Nah, just watch “Oh Brother Where Art Thou” 
I dont actually use pomade it just made me think of the reference lol
A brake pad MR85 bearing yoyo sounds kool
