Looks great. But 60 grams… Matter of taste of course, but it may be a bit too light. ---

I’ve got a vote for SolidWorks. It’s crazy versatile and fairly easy to pick up. It’s easily the most intuitive interface in a CAD system that I’ve picked up yet. There’s also plenty of help available online. Maker’s license seems to be pretty worth it, only downside is that they lock out most collaboration with the business versions. ---

Does it have side effects? It can’t tell my looking at it but it kinda appears that way. If so that could be your problem. I hope you get it figured out. The Yoyo looks fantastic! ---

It does have SE but I don’t think they are the problem. OD manufactures them to a very tight tolerance. Meeting with a physicists who can hopefully shine some light on what’s going on. ---

If you run into info about what software might be used for simulation, I’d be very interested in hearing it. ---

Not sure if you are an engineer, but I am, and I work with CAD softwares all the time. These are awesome! I’m getting Jeff Pang vibes (Luftverk), check him out if you haven’t yet. I love the YouTube videos showing him honing the Solidworks models of the yoyos he’s designing. Keep up the good work :+1: ---
