It surprises me every time I have a session with it. Such a chill yoyo. It even hits that ASMR button for me; when I do an extra snappy bind, the noise it makes is this delightfully hollow-crispy snap! Good times. Gooood times ---

I retract my statement that response bumps kill the feel of a yoyo. That isn’t necessarily true. It’s much more about the overall design. I do feel the response bumps in your design are a bit too aggressive, though. ---

Thanks! Got confused because the file is named “Yoyo D Bearing” 😛 One more thing: given that I am a total noob and just now started going down this rabbit hole, if I were to adapt these guts to a 10mm axle, I just need to increase the hole to the desired 4.92mm (as per Zach’s video), right? ---

I’m using Fusion 360. It has plenty of online tutorials to get you through the basics - drawing lines & circular arcs, rotating around an axis to create a 3d body, applying materials and appearances, mirroring bodies, and rendering. ---

A group of portland throwers designed their own yoyo recently and had a small run made for their yoyo club to try out: [https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTUDvQB\_83/](https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTUDvQB_83/) [https://www.instagram.com/p/Br\_KvGQlIgM/](https://www.instagram.com/p/Br_KvGQlIgM/) Love seeing this sort of thing pop up! ---
