Thanks Patrick, Was a bit tricky till I got the mounting pieces right. But now the break smooth and without to much damage/left over on the parts. ---

I don’t do CAD design but I read through a lot of these posts and there’s some really cool stuff going on in here. I think if you guys added to your post with a detailed WHY to some of your design decisions, it would open up some really cool progress for this thread. 🤩 ---

I’m planning on putting together my own video series to talk about some of the thoughts that go into planning, prototyping, and releasing a yoyo design. What sort of questions would you all like to see answered? The more technical, the better. I can’t explain “float”, for example. ---

this is a fantastic idea! in my opinion this is singularly one of the most informative and helpful threads that exists online for our hobby. your insight in design, and your commitment in helping people figure out their own projects here has been so, so valuable – definitely to me, personally, and i’m sure anybody who has been remotely interested in the design process for throws. compiling an organised series to streamline all of that knowledge would be an incredible thing to do. i’ll think of more questions, but for starters, i’d be interested to hear your thoughts on Moment of Inertia, and how to make sense of these numbers vis-a-vis other factors such as overall diameter, width, etc! ---

Tried to take a shutter-esque shape and make it organic/bubbly. 58x48 7075 probably around 64.5 grams. ![BubblyCompetitionOrganic2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/7/9/579bec99798c593de2c33502b935d37526c3fb31.jpeg) ![BubblyCompetitionOrganic](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/6/2/f62fd9489f79a2e9a7ca15f2ed5625ece3222abe.png) Also, heres one that I designed a week ago. Took pieces from the 7068 throw I posted a while back and changed the cup up and gave it some punchline-esque rims… 55x48, 65 grams, 7075. If I ever competed it would probably be with something similar to this. ![CompetitionPunchline2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/5/4/454e8c23a22f1ac6355a40a86dbe5cbd0eeafad3.png) ![CompetitionPunchline](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/8/a/88a7c1258ea90a7b02cdbba1fc67c2f86ec4043c.png) ---

Also as a design exercise I threw this together in conjunction, 56 mm x 44.5 mm pretty generic looking bimetal with very similar design aesthetics as the first design, and it has nearly the same mass and moment of inertia as the larger model, would be interesting to see how the pair compare in terms of feel ![mimicbimetal_2020-Aug-05_03-20-51AM-000_CustomizedView26991886012_jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/2/5/525155569787a85abf80513e5c119f6d07128fd4.jpeg) ![mimicbimetal_2020-Aug-05_03-21-13AM-000_CustomizedView20784957641_jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/0/a/00a849af53fc7fa7696c7fd91b08a419012a684a.jpeg) ---
