not a bad thing, looks fun.
The transition from the profile to the gap looks a bit sharp. Shape looks interesting though, what’s the inspiration?

I just took the specs of the serenade and tried to make an H out of it lol

Inspired with KLR specs so I named it the FMJ to kinda go with that army vibe. 55x44 6061, 4.5 gap, 64 grams. Originally wanted to make an organic V but the rims became a bit too bubbly and I really dig how it worked out.

I made this yoyo for my girlfriend. Its a mini. 46x36mm, 4.4 gap, 58g. I made it light since shes tiny haha. As far as the actual design, its had to be the weirdest thing I’ve drawn considering how normal it is. Has a similar shape to a couple other yoyos ive designed recently but its a shape ive really come to like.

Some random design dump from me of yoyos I’m probably not making,
Fire yoyo, note that the wicks on the sides are not ideal since I haven’t done any testing of what works best for a yoyo. Too risky to invest in this project since there are so many variables. The hubs are tapped so you can actually put different attachments on the side so you could possibly put a hubstack on the post with a m4 screw attachments or run it without anything on the stacks at all.
Random weird bi-metal
Super powerful <64g bi-metal designed for competetive fast play, I think this one could possibly be an amazing but I think the design elements and style is too similar to the recent Duncan releases.
6061 monometal design could be a great choice for a budget metal.

I really like the monometal design, very clean

Yeah I might revisit that one.
The random weird bimetal is kinda cool.

Can anybody reccomend on how to start doing this? I’m kinda wanting to get into cad my self, and maybe even produce a few yo-yos.

Start by watching this video, which uses an engineering lens to analyze yoyo design:
There’s 3 other videos in the series, you should watch those as well.
Then learn the tools - Fusion360 or Solidworks or some other CAD program.
Here’s a more design-focused video by @Jamie_Larkins:
You should make a lot of designs and get feedback on them.

To all then people here, I would like to see somebody make a design of a super wide bimetal. I’ve never seen one before.

are the system requirements for Fusion360 and Solidworks the same? the best PC in my household can’t run Fusion360, so i’m wondering if Solidworks will work (no pun intended).

I don’t know the specific requirements. You’d have to try it.
