we havent forgotten you! this initial production run was a pre-order. The run is still manufacturing- ( a little slower than usual due to the Chinese new year shutdown this week) we are however on track to ship end of Feb. Cant wait to get these out to all our pre-order customers. ---

all everybody I just finished my first CAD drawing! A few questions, 1.) how do I get rid of these ugly “edge” lines? 2.) After the lines how do I render it with two halves and a bearing? 3.) how do I get that soft light background? Thanks yall i would really appreciate all comments! ![Yoyo%20D%20Bearing%20v3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/3/a/33a362fa68bd7ac6952c8536f94ced868e6fba00.png) ---

Switch Fusion to “Render” mode and apply the soft lighting scene to get soft lighting. You can mirror that yoyo body to make the other half. Press “A” to bring up the appearance menu and look for the aluminum rough surface appearance. You can bring in a bearing from the McMaster Carr catalog or draw your own (only really needs to be a cylinder to work) but it doesn’t matter a whole lot whether you have one there or not. ---
