Hello,  
I have spent the last couple days learning freecad from mk1 yoyos videos have have designed a few different versions of my ''dream yoyo".  
they are all 40mm wide, 55mm in diameter and around 61 grams w bearing n stuff w 6061.  
I have made an even, slight rim and more rim weighted versions and not sure witch one i like the most haha.  
 ![yoyo 3 mil rim bowl w step](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/8/9/5895891e6783f397b1ac6a2cd6cb073e5a5ee664.gif)

 ![yoyo w mil w step](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/1/4/0148c5f5d56ac0667a05e1a9567128b90244e69a.gif)  
the nipple is my fav part and is made to accommodate a 12 mil axle  
have not put the smoov groove on one yet but am curious if it is too deep? it still has 1.5mm of material on other side but looks like it could be a weak point.  
any ideas or feedback is much appreciated.  
Also i live in New Zealand so what is the chance of a local shop being able to do this? what do i look for?  
If i cant find any what are the prices like for small runs from a shop in china?  
Thanks 😊
