ThrowYo yo-yo

thingiverse

Finally managed to create a working yoyo design. Standard C size bearing and O-rings instead of silicone response pads are used, also requires a 4mm x 12mm threaded axle. Always thread the axle straight to prevent unwanted vibration. I have just uploaded an updated version, marked as Rev1 in the files section, featuring significant changes: larger diameter (58.5mm compared to the original 56.3mm) and wider body, along with deeper cups for increased rim weight and a completely overhauled axle system using an m3 x 16mm bolt and an m3 nut. These modifications prevent a stripping issue that may occur after disassembly for o-ring replacement or bearing swap. Both the m3 bolt and nut need to be carefully hammered into place, but once installed, the unit can be broken down like any standard yoyo. Optional nylock nuts are available, though they complicate the process. You should be able to find C sized bearings and threaded axles at most online yoyo shops, as well as on eBay by searching for m3 x 20 threaded rod. For best performance, pair this unit with a silicone response pad ( tutorials available by searching for "flowable silicone response pad" on Google) and a concave or CT bearing designed specifically for yoyos. Yoyobestbuy is an excellent source for these parts, simply search for Buddha whipple or ripple bearings at about $5 each; they last indefinitely. Printer Settings: Printer: Kossel Mini Rafts: Not necessary Supports: Use them to ensure a stable print Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: Choose between 80-100% Notes: For optimal results, use an infill of 80%, but be aware that it may leave the yoyo slightly underweight; hub caps will soon be available to compensate for this by adding around 3 grams. A full 100% infill is recommended and should yield a throw weighing in at approximately 63g.
