The time’s close, gentlemen.
I just ordered a 3d printer like one above that’d most likely end up on my tinker table next tuesday, so I can start protoing more often and do more stuff on it for the forum to see.
Can’t wait 'til next week!

I am tempted to make this design mostly for the colorway. Heavily inspired by the Arctic Circle 2nd Expedition

Hey I just got an alert on my phone, was someone talking about the Arctic Circle 2?

220€. It ain’t too bad with good reviews, but small build volume (I don’t need much bigger than what the machine has for now)

This is huge. And the hole for the bolt from the proyo is too small. Just gonna get a slimmer bolt. Second half should be ready tomorrow.

The tolerance for 3D printing can be tricky to manage, so don’t feel bad, you’re off to a good start! If you have a drill (ideally a drill press, but you can free hand it) you could always make the bore slightly larger until the proyo bolt threads properly. Alternatively a smaller bolt works as well. Sanding will also help with the size and smoothness some, but that could throw off the weight distribution a smidge.

The infill was low, so I fear absolutely destroying the bolt hole if I were to drill it out. We’ll see how the smaller bolt goes first THEN maybe destroy it, lol.

Would you happen to know the shell width? If it’s thick enough you shouldn’t have too much to fear. But smaller bolt is safer to try first 10/10

Printed one of the steel yoyos to see what it’d look like. 48mm x 48mm, A bearing yoyo. Still need to fiddle with the print settings but it looks good.

I should get a 3D printer one day, then turn them smooth on the lathe.

@Glenacius_K Would you like to practice on one from the Sigma Project?

I’d give it a shot
I actually printed extra of the T_2 to test consistency. Would you happen to have Duncan a-sized bearing spacers? I can send the axle and lock nut, but I’m pretty sparse on spacers.

All I have is Cabal guts unfortunately.

Well… This wasn’t a TOTAL failure.
Next step is to round off the edges more (ouch!) and get better fasteners.
