Fusion360 Help? Is there a way to ‘freeze’ a portion of a sketch and putz around with the rest? I want the hub/axle area to stay the same but every time I move a point, everything else gets distorted. ---

I know in solid works it does the same. You have to find where you dissociate the points. For solid works you turn off certain relationships when you click on the point. Sorry I don’t know Fusion as well, hopefully that can help Edit: I forgot to mention sanding will help with any sharpness and some with the size. If you have like 400-600 that’d be a good start. Wet sanding ---

It’s there, but loosely. I accidentally gave it too much room. Everything else sits nicely. I tried a new support profile and it was excellent, but there’s a little ledge I can’t get off. Back to fiddling with those. ---

It works but you should melt it from outside in (so from the cup side to response side) just as a precaution so it stays in as you tighten, play etc, and do it as straight as possible. ---

This is an under-to-mid-sized butterfly shape with a 100% concave cup. Was trying to see if I could get it to an acceptable weight/inertia without making the hub pop out. Had to settle for an 8mm axle though. It landed on 52x52x63g. ![cherry-slice](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/b/9/7b9e60c5892c3d900145a9d9ada3df6895b07c08.png) ![cherry](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/6/b/46b78e98ff80aa03e83fdcf5b0808febe77d8968.jpeg) I was also trying out an oversized but under-weighted butterfly shape that could take a slim bearing and do stalls. 60x42.43x64g. Not happy with the weight yet, would probably need to go more aggressive on the schmoove ring and just remove a lot of material there. Or, drop it from 10mm axle to 8mm. ![morpho](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/5/c/c5c0d7beb7e1df648b7ae85af23467b2fddf48e2.jpeg) ---

More caliper time.

Did a wide angle shutter in acrylic, not really a serious design, just to see how it looks. An actual design couldn’t get away with a 10mm axle and nothing else to hold it together. It’d need some brass in there kind of like the [3yo3 Acryllion](https://yoyo.fandom.com/wiki/3yo3_Acryllion). ![Shutter_WA_2019-Sep-01_07-34-53PM-000_CustomizedView19926187704](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/0/a/00a258baca67477ef49d9fd8b25b49e7d27e3c8e.jpeg) ---
