Wow, you’re prolific! I like the look of most of what you’re posting. The green one is nice and shiny. This last one looks interesting, but along the lines of Mark’s comment on the flattish rims on your design in [this post](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yoyo-cad-prototyping-adventures/291547/1479), the catch zone seems too flat near the bearing. Yoyos that have flat areas like that seem like they’d be annoying as the string might land there momentarily and then find it’s way off the ledge. Keep it up! Love seeing designs that I can’t actually get even if I wanted to! ---

i don’t know about a press fit, but one technique i know is that when you heat steel, it grows slightly. so, you make the rings just a few thou smaller than they “should” be, heat them up, and then press fit them. once they cool, they should shrink and then be interference fit on. ---

> [@Lido](#): > > Yoyos that have flat areas like that seem like they’d be annoying as the string might land there momentarily and then find it’s way off the ledge. The profile is not too far off of the C3 Scintillator. I have one and while it is possible to land on the wall and feel the string drop down onto the bearing, I have to really try to notice. To get the string to actually hang there requires so much tilt that it would be the least of the things going wrong. I think that as long as the yo-yo is resistant enough to tilting due to an off center landing, these types of designs work okay. Of course, it could be that C3 pushed the envelope as far as they could, and any flatter an angle would be an issue. Seems like a good candidate for a 3d printed prototype. ---

> [@AtomicChessGuy](#): > > Thoughts anyone? You post so many yoyo designs ts hard to give in depth thoughts on any of them. My thoughts are that some are too flat in the area next to the guts and the trimetal one is underpowered for a yoyo using three different metals. The massive wide organic one has walls that are very thin and a hub with more AL than I’d like there. My overall though is that they are all yoyos that will spin and do tricks. ---

looks like a good yoyo, tad bit big for my tastes and I think i’ve always been a fan of more rounded profiles rather than the inverted one you have have you started messing with like artistic polish things (e.g. adding cuts and minor details that don’t really change the performance but make the yoyo more visually interesting)? curious to see how it progresses ---
