Did you use any videos to learn basics in fusion 360 before starting on yoyos? If you did, I would highly appreciate a link to them.
CAD looks like Chinese to me right now

There’s all from first starting to more advanced features.

back in high school I learned drafting (on paper) and some CAD basics, then later some basic 3d modeling. The tools these days are a lot easier to use, though. I just kind of figured it out as I went along.
The basic steps are outlined earlier in this thread though, start here: Yoyo CAD & Prototyping Adventures - #125 by MarkD

I’ve been having fun dabbling on steel designs
Full size (55x44, 65g)
53x53, 64,5g
We need more steel yoyos in this world.

I would love to see a render of a design covered with TK jewels!

One more steel
I need to delve deeper into this material. The one drawback is the density, so the cups are always pretty bland with a nub, so I have to think of ways to make them look more interesting. Maybe engraving is the key, maybe inserts, but steel in itself does look pretty damn classy if I do say myself.
Time to oil the cerebral cogs.
Bit better.

Here’s an idea: premium steel yoyo with spinning rims. Class of the highest order, I’d say.

Slimline with spinning rims called ‘‘the Lowrider’’ with brushed black nickel type of finish.
MMMMMM

Back to reality though. I’ve a little project.
I’m giving my 4a yoyo a one up to 5a. I’ve modeled some spacers for it.
Why am I doing this? I want to try an oversized IX style yoyo without dumping IX type of money for one.
It doesn’t hit the dimensions perfectly, but I reckon I get a good enough of a feel if I’d like an oversized freehand yoyo.

I have a topyo TS and based on my playtime with that I’d say … no… no, we really don’t…

Not a fan of the TS? @Marm really seemed to like it.

I think it might make sense for an organic undersize like the bowl mini maybe.

Played with it earlier yesterday, still a top 3 hands down

Not really side effects, those are distinct for the taper and o ring. Most (all?) delrin yoyos have separate hubs like this.

I’ll open all mine and post photos of their hubs/guts later, they’re each a little bit different!

Man that’s sharp!!! What are the specs!? I love the organic h-ish shaped yo-yos
