Spiral Yo-Yo

Summary: Video about the Spiral Yo-Yo https://youtu.be/OPASUKW2H9s I aimed to craft a more robust version of the wax paper yo-yo I cherished as a child. After a year and a half, I finally perfected it to the point where I can release it. This is an extremely challenging print that many printers will struggle to handle. Be sure to pay close attention to the print setting notes, as this requires very specific settings. Print Settings: Printer: Raise 3D N2+ Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20% Notes: If your printer is sloppy in x/y or has z wobble, the rings will fuse together and it won't work. It's crucial that the first layer isn't smashed into the build plate like you normally would, or the bottom rings will fuse together. I get around this by using a raft and setting the maximum space between the raft and print where the spiral will still lay down. You must either have a small diameter nozzle (0.25/0.3) or use a 0.4 nozzle with software that adjusts for thin line extrusions, like Simplify 3D Version 4.0. If you use a 0.4mm nozzle with software that doesn't adjust for thin lines, the yo-yo will be too stiff.
