Yoyo CAD & Prototyping Adventures

The profile is not too far off of the C3 Scintillator. I have one and while it is possible to land on the wall and feel the string drop down onto the bearing, I have to really try to notice.

To get the string to actually hang there requires so much tilt that it would be the least of the things going wrong.

I think that as long as the yo-yo is resistant enough to tilting due to an off center landing, these types of designs work okay.

Of course, it could be that C3 pushed the envelope as far as they could, and any flatter an angle would be an issue. Seems like a good candidate for a 3d printed prototype.

@AtomicChessGuy have you seen these “Let’s cut a yo-yo” videos?

Cool! Though the sawing of the yo-yo in half brought me a little bit of inner pain. :rofl:

You post so many yoyo designs ts hard to give in depth thoughts on any of them.

My thoughts are that some are too flat in the area next to the guts and the trimetal one is underpowered for a yoyo using three different metals. The massive wide organic one has walls that are very thin and a hub with more AL than I’d like there.

My overall though is that they are all yoyos that will spin and do tricks.

Should I post less?

As a software engineer I can tell you there’s nothing like running code. You can get 10 reviews and it makes little difference when the code hits prod…

Edit: to answer your question directly, no, don’t post less, it’s an Internet forum and thrives on user content. I’m just not sure how much useful feedback you’ll get here. Probably some.

This shape reminds me of a Draupnir but a little rounder.

beauty render. how can you change the environment and still have the white base?

waiting my first design prototype to be made feels like forever.

so i made an undersized version of monophobia
it’s a kind of pun but i call it “miniphobia”

inspired by yoyorecreation E=mc2 , i made it 3mm wider with a change from W to H profile. and the weight is same as the “normal” version of Monophobia.

what do you think?

looks like a good yoyo, tad bit big for my tastes and I think i’ve always been a fan of more rounded profiles rather than the inverted one you have

have you started messing with like artistic polish things (e.g. adding cuts and minor details that don’t really change the performance but make the yoyo more visually interesting)? curious to see how it progresses

I think it looks amazing. Out of all the designs you’ve shown here, this one is my favorite.

If you are using Fusion 360 to render then you can go to the top and click environment then drag and drop a different environment:
