It looks like a pretty close rendition. What are the main differences between it and the Expedition? ---

I actually wasn’t going for many differences but I would say the biggest difference is the cup. I just made a few tweaks to adjust the weight distribution. Here is the outline view. (Edit) I forgot to mention it is 7075 aluminum and the diameter is around 55.5mm and the width will be around 47.7 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/e/a/6ea569ef54c862691fbbd905d625dc938f79d389.png) ---

made a 7068 organic inspired by all the great organics recently; cloudberry, kappa, and magnum opus. Some ILYY infljuence also with the hub. 57x45 10mm axle 62 grams. Also realized that designing V and H shapes are a lot easier for me than organics haha. What do you think of this one? ![IMG_20200825_124521_710](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/2/8/b283b56ad5660317ea521612b07d1819553f194d.jpeg) ![IMG_20200825_124519_759](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/f/4/5f47198f945657a6f92bf13709c73704a2b92ad9.jpeg) ---

All of our codenames for the project are round objects, at least. I hope it plays as round as it looks! ---

We’ll see how the rest of the mk1 team likes em! The hub is sort of a diffraction-style cub, but pressed out to form surface ripples. This allows a similar look, but with a longer axle. ---

Surfing [www.yoyomuseum.com](http://www.yoyomuseum.com) and came across this old 2009 Duncan Hugo Proto [CAD](http://www.yoyomuseum.com/museum_view.php?action=view&subaction=exhibit&exhibitid=2588) drawing and thought is was pretty cool; ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/8/a/28a06619465fa00339d174f5b7af51ce17e85c5b.jpeg) ---

It is definitely old school with a D sized bearing and a recessed sticker response, here is what the internals wound up looking like. ![5_2489_supplemental](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/a/b/2abe982b413b47d02db94d2f887ea35985dd599b.jpeg) ---
