3YO3's Official Manufacturer Thread!- Check out the new Bass Line 2!!!!

Oh WOW!!

Congratulations on the win!!!
Spectacular Concept and Realization.

Great Photo’s of the other yoyo’s

I look forward to the Teflon one most of all.

Great work .

Digging all the input guys- thanks a BUNCH!!

Here’s what’s happening- I just graduated from USF with a bachelors in mechanical engineering. Now it’s time to really get some yoyos going! Look for another wave of Omnicron X’s, all bead blasted & in some really wicked colorways. Maybe even gold plate? :wink:

Titanium yoyo- I’m going to do 6 more drawings, so there’ll be 10 total. Then we’ll have an official poll, and figure out what everyone likes best. It’s going to be HUGE!

Lastly- I’ve gotten some orders lately for all my handmade stuff lately. Yes, EVERYTHING is still handmade start to finish, NO CNC’ing at all (with the exception of the Omnicron X of course.) Here’s what’s brewing on my manual lathe!

First thing to drop will be these acrylic Steamrollers. The X^3YO3 official collaboration

That’s a Hammerhead, with a Duncan light up FHZ board inside.

Here’s my stock-pile of un-machined yoyo stock! From the top: 2.125" Acrylic for Cosmo/Ceephax/Acryllion/Accent. 2.125" Delrin for Volume/Capella. Bottom left: 2.25" acrylic for CMA & Hammerhead. Bottom Middle: 2.00" teflon for Grind King & ??? :wink: Bottom right: 2" acrylic for acrylic steams & ??? Question marks indicate a definite potential of new models. All this I’ll eventually turn by hand into another awesome 3YO3 creation!

Will they be dropping at your store?

This first run’s going all to Xcube. There’s a definite stir of possibility for run #2 though!

Here’s what else has been going on. I’m staying BUSY!

Gotta love it haha.

Also have a 5th Ti proto drawn, & soon some more. Will be unveiling these new designs soon!

awesome! Hopefully when states rolls around in march we’ll see some cool new stuff! Also i’m absolutely in love with that orange with black speckle!

Where can I buy that X3 yoyo of yours

How come the Accent isn’t available in colored?

It’s too wide, lol. It can be made in this Camouflage, but that’s the only colored option

Oh, well under the volume I see black, white and half and half. Under the pictures there are some dyed. How come this isn’t available under the drop down menu?

Because I’m slow at updating my website lol. I’ve got to change that!

Input VERY welcome!

Thanks!!!

Proto 7 with lower rims.

proto 7 is actually really nice looking, the shape is very slick looking and it has a good weight for that shape.

3yo3’s offstring!

Hahaha thanks for the laughs :smiley:

Here’s what I was up to on Friday-- Went down & paid a visit to my bead blaster, and blasted ALL the remaining Omnicron X halves. 176 halves, a neck cramp, and 5 hours later, I had them all done. Taking them to the anodizer sometime this week, though Monday & Tuesday’s taken up w/ a clutch job for my girlfriends car, haha.

Here’s what I’ve got for ya in pictures-

Lime Green!!! Also planning purple & orange, as well as some sweet fades. You guys NEED to at least try one of these. They’re now officially made by a mechanical engineer, haha.

Titanium project’s coming along well too. Went to the machinist’s Wednesday and discussed some things. I’ll be refining design 5, as it looks like that’s pulling well ahead of everything else. Will keep everyone here up to speed with the changes, as they occur.

Looks like production is pretty much set to start on the Ti’s in about 2-3 months, though! Planning on doing a bigger run so as to keep up with demand, that seems to be what all the previous Ti yoyos lacked. Hopefully everyone who’s looking forward to this can get their hand’s on one :D. It’s going to be EPIC!

Cheers guys, appreciate you reading up & following this! I’m having a blast doing this Ti project!

So many yoyos, so little cash…

I mean, time. Or cash. Whatever.

Looks so good, I hope the drop coincides with me having money.

Sell a kidney.
