I appreciate the encouragement! Once I get the measurements for the ProYo guts I’ll get REAL upset motivated!

Nah, I got them from the machinist himself, he posted them on the Yoyo Designers facebook group a while back.

Silly me just recreated the thing! Shewee that sounds much nicer. Sounds like I have to join that group now.

More cubes.
This was originally an alu model that I modified to get a fairly weighted stainless one.
48x48 abt. 62 grams. Because of the dimensions, it _should_ play close to a full size but still be more pocketable (or not) Edit. It’s also A bearing and cbc small response.
 
Also, a counterweight.

I feel like pocketability has more to do with the smallest of the two dimensions than the larger one. So a 48x48 isn’t really any more pocketable than a 56x48. On the other hand, a 58x30 is super pocketable.

Tbh, I have pockets that can fit a large soda bottle into them, so it’d just fall in there :joy:
But I totally see how it’s not as pocketable as I’d think.

I beefed the little guy to a whopping 66,2 grams!
Also a brass M3 axle.

That’s a lot of beef. Which note would it play if you hit it with a mallet?

Love the look of this one! But why a brass axle? Isn’t steel a stronger/harder metal?

I have no idea. :thinking: I need to get one machined and get a strobo tuner, and try to tune one 😃

For sure. I want to try a brass one though as it shouldn’t be noticeably weaker as a yoyo axle. And I love me some brass.
So much so that if I ever get a stainless yoyo I’d want it plated and maybe polished.
Something like this.

Fair enough. I’ve just seen enough broken steel axles that I imagine brass breaking easier. Not saying it’s a terrible idea, just something to consider if you actually get to production.

Aight. Thanks for the heads up.
Most likely I’ll go with steel axles if ever there is production, but I think it’s worth trying if nothing more.
I’m digging this patina, old brass look in fusion. Truly looks like a relic.
I don’t mean to spam, but appearances in fusion are too fun to play with.
Brushed brass and steel.
