Very nice. That gap looks beautiful

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?

Designed this the other day. Diameter: 55.5. Width: around 44. Weight: around 64.5. Gap: 4.5.
Still new to making yo-yos on cad so let me know what you think.

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?

Beautiful Mark! Very exciting and unique looking design! Can’t wait!

Honestly didn’t mean that as a bad thing, it has enough to set itself a part and I honestly think Mark’s designs look a lot more well put together.
But yes, when I say inspired I mean Organic with a schmoove and close to identical size( .2mm off) with the same style of weight distribution.

It’s also light-weight and full sized. Definitely grail influenced, but not a clone, of course - the rims are rounder (instead of squared off), it’s a bit bigger, it’s considerably lighter, and of course the hub is based on the Diffraction, but with a fresnel-lens type configuration to the rings.
If you compare the profile shape very carefully, the grail actually has a slightly flatter section leading into the string gap, whereas this yoyo uses a single uninterrupted circular arc going from the rims all the way down to where the schmoove groove begins.
There are other influences of course, because one cannot help but look at every yoyo they own and consider what their favorite bits and pieces are.

You have a great design. Comparing it to the grail is super flattering IMO.
