It looks like a pretty close rendition. What are the main differences between it and the Expedition?
I actually wasn’t going for many differences but I would say the biggest difference is the cup. I just made a few tweaks to adjust the weight distribution. Here is the outline view. (Edit) I forgot to mention it is 7075 aluminum and the diameter is around 55.5mm and the width will be around 47.7

made a 7068 organic inspired by all the great organics recently; cloudberry, kappa, and magnum opus. Some ILYY infljuence also with the hub. 57x45 10mm axle 62 grams. Also realized that designing V and H shapes are a lot easier for me than organics haha. What do you think of this one?

All of our codenames for the project are round objects, at least. I hope it plays as round as it looks!

Oh yeah. Right on the nose
Plays light, comfy. We’ll see how the rest of the mk1 team likes em!
The hub is sort of a diffraction-style cub, but pressed out to form surface ripples. This allows a similar look, but with a longer axle.

Oh so nice…
Good work guys this is fascinating!
I’m keen to get into cad but wouldn’t have the foggiest how to get started!
Surfing www.yoyomuseum.com and came across this old 2009 Duncan Hugo Proto CAD drawing and thought is was pretty cool;

That is cool, and that’s also a lot of dimensions! I can barely make out what some of the ones near the guts are pointing to - and those are the most important!

It is definitely old school with a D sized bearing and a recessed sticker response, here is what the internals wound up looking like.

Looks very Grail inspired but I love the more rounded rims on this and the hub design. The light weight makes it really interesting!

Grail inspired? How do you mean? Because its an organic with a schmoove?
