The Edge Beyond is probably the closest you’ll see to a super wide bimetal.

Weird question but I’m a complete noob at CAD. I had to do a lot of drafting before for blueprint classes in college but whats the best software to get into CAD for yoyoing?

I would expect SolidWorks to be more demanding than Fusion360.

I think for my first Yoyo, I’m not gonna measure out any sizes or anything just kinda freehand it.

I double checked to make sure I wasn’t lying to you lol. Yes; Solidworks is significantly more demanding than Fusion 360. Did you download and try running Fusion 360?

no but my brother who owns/built the PC said it wouldn’t work, and if it did it’d run very slow.

If you’re interested in drawing up some yoyos I’d encourage you to try it. Fusion has a bunch of heavy duty stuff in it that you won’t need for what you are doing. The system requirements are written to make sure you have adequate performance when generating CNC tool paths, performing finite element analysis, and other stuff you won’t need for yoyo design. When you decide to do some rendering to make the pretty pictures of your design it might be slow, but you can let it go overnight since that’s not an interactive process - just start it and come back later.
Worst case scenario it doesn’t work out and you uninstall it. Good luck man (and also don’t get yourself in trouble with your brother following my advice!)

thank you! i found a picture of a CAD file in this thread and put a piece of paper over the PC screen and traced it, turned out ok but i’m going to try it again.

Question, has anybody used Onshape for this?

I’ve tried Onshape on my phone a little bit. It was just tough to be as precise as I wanted around the bearing seat. Other than that I liked it. But I like fusion 360 on a computer better. Just way easier for me with a mouse.
