You can copy these values into your own appearance. Looks way better than “shiny 100% yellow”. ![just a round yoyo](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/c/f/5cfc5b15037d834700fdc941d46ff6da79ea8af1.png) (This is a really rough first draft of nothing in particular specifically to show off the rings) ---

I started trying to use CAD for yoyos two days ago. @Durfee wanted me to make a draw up a mk1 diffraction that had flatter rims and was a tiny bit wider.
