Speaking of diagrams, I made this for the #yoyo-design channel on the r/throwers discord server so we can talk about the guts of the yoyo without getting confused about what everything is called.

This is a built in function in fusion. In the menu, you can make a drawing from the model you’re working on. With the projected drawing you can take dimensions from it. You can search ‘‘fusion 360 drawing from design’’ in YouTube to find guides on it’s basics and functions.

We did dwgs in AutoCad and Inventor as part of Drafting and Design. We also did hand drafting

Hand drafting is dope, depending on what you’re doing

I really like what you arrived at there… reminds me a lot of UNPRLD and I love their designs.

Thanks! I might get this one machined instead of my other design. Looking back, it looked kinda “too” organic. I’ll probably keep making more designs though so this might not even be “it”.

I’m thinking I want to design a side effect yoyo, does anyone have and experience with that?

@da5id and @The_Machinist know a thing or two about it.

This thread makes me really want to design my own yoyo. The design would all be about completely flat hubs for the stickers.

That’d be perfect for that circular yye sticker they used on a package they sent to me like 5 months ago
I currently have it stuck to the back of my student id

Working on something new. Trying to work out how to distribute the weight horizontally for something 55mm wide is a new challenge for me.

Heavily inspired by 543?

A little something I’ve tried. The drawing is slightly updated from the render. Monster-ish dimensions with a xcubed steamroller kinda profile and my fave, the smooth bowl cup.

It’s a fair comparison!
I’ve been working on this particular CAD since October of last year and the various bits and pieces of the design have come from different places. I got the dome hub idea from the Grail and the overall profile from a sort of stretched out Diffraction (I really like inverse round with rounded off rims as a look).
Still working on the inside of the rim and some other parts of it to really differentiate it from the 543, since I can’t ignore that it exists.
