What type of axle do ODs use? I saw someone call it an M4 axle, what does that mean? ---

They and many other companies use a m4 x .7 axle size which means 4mm diameter and .7 mm thread pitch I don’t the exact length they use sorry ---

I’m pretty sure OD’s axles are 14mm long. ---

Hey, do you still have the CAD’s for the Lab Experiment 1-21? I’d love to see that side by side with a Dietz. ---

[quote=“cruton,post:16,topic:51162”] While it would be nice, it’s like giving away the key to making a great playing yoyo. Make it distributed the same way, and it will play the same way. It’s like giving away the schematics to an iPhone, then anyone with the right equipment can make one. One drop gave out the cad codes for the project, yet I dont know of anyone who made one or knows how As far as I know, One Drop is the ONLY company that has EVER posted pictures of the yoyo CAD. ILYY has some of their design’s lasered into acrylic, but that’s about it from what I know. I think Dingo was referring to this: > [@""](#): > > To their credit, once OneDrop discontinued the Project they publicly posted the CAD code for anyone with access to a CNC lathe to make their own. Here’s that code…if you’re feeling industrious and want to make a batch of these for yourself, go right ahead! > > [Click here to download the NC code for making a OneDrop Project YoYo on a CNC mill.](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2165247/OneDrop%20Project%20NC%20Code%20%28CNC%20Mill%29.rtf) DID I JUST DOWNLOAD THE CAD FOR A PROJECT??? APUHPUSHFPUSFIUSNFPIUWF YESSS ok stop the caps now. I might be taking a class with a cmc wood lathe… wood projects here I come.
