I’ve decided to make a new yoyo from the ground up, the guts is a bit challenging but finally I get the right measurements with the help from FPM.

Haha yep its the GUTS!
Not gonna lie doing it from the scratch is indeed challenging but the end result is very rewarding, I’m always relying on the gut template from yoyo designers fb group but making it is way better.

I’ve been experimenting with these heat-set inserts too. Any tips on how to get them in perfectly straight? I’ve been using a wood burning kit with a flat tip and just eye-balling it.

I just like minimalistic designs that have oomph.
I drew this one up today. 58mmX42mmX70.5g 7068 AL. Clean and powerful.

Working on a another design. This one is 52mm in diameter and about 50mm wide. Going to further refine it. Its a little too wide for my taste.

I’m no fan of outer rim bimetals, but gave it a try anyway, let’s see if this will see the light of day.

I feel like that needs an extra edge to make a bimetal noctu. @crackout
Hi everyone!
Does anyone here have extra time to check my CAD file for weight verification? My software was constantly crashing atm so maybe I could need a helping hand.
Thank you!
Send it my way, I’d be happy to help
