Yoyo
Print Profile(1)
Description
They say once you reach a certain age you refuse to accept change. When I see yoyos today with these fancy butterfly shapes my first reaction is “that isn't proper yoyo”. But I'm not old…. I don't refuse to accept change. Instead, I embrace it… by changing it back to the way it was before someone changed it.
Loosly modelled on a certain fizzy beverage branded yoyo that was popular in the land before time, this thing both looks like a yoyo and functions like one too.
Happy spinning.
Notes:
- You need to add your own string.
- My plate has 50% infill. This is probably overkill but it gives it a nice heft. Those with less co-ordination should try not to knock themselves out with a blow to the head. You could reduce infill to save filament (or wear a helmet)
- Ensure the axle keeps its settings to ensure its sturdy enough. Many a yoyo was split asunder to get these settings right
- Recommend PETG for the axle for extra strength
As always, please provide feedback and screenshots of your prints.
