IMPORTANT:THIS STUFF IS ALL REALLY OLD, VISIT PAGE 10 FOR PICTURES OF OUR ACTUAL PROTOTYPES!




hey guys, i just created this topic to say that me and my friends form the yoyo group BLTyoyoworks, and we may soon start creating our own yo-yos! not sure ho its going to work out, or if we will even sell them, but we're hoping for the best. here are some of our designs so far:










obviously these are not final, and i'm almost sure that only a select few of these will be sent in for creation. and the reason that some of them look similar is that some are different versions of the same yo-yos.

so come yoyo community! bring in the suggestions!
also, one more thing, just so you know, though we have the designs set and ready with all the correct measurements (on most) we still don't yet have a good manufacturing company. so though these look nice, there is still a relatively large possibility that we will not have these made. if any of you people have info on this, please let me know immediately.

I'd like to try the 2nd and 9th! Designs look good, just make sure the weight is in the right place.

yeah, i think that other than just eyeballing it, weight distributions is going to mostly trial and error i think.

Way too much weight.  Try reducing total weight and pushing it towards the rims.

I wouldn't prototype now.

First calculate you mass of one half. Those are way to heavy and would be a waste to prototype. I recommend you take of a good portion of the weight.

Trust me, I have prototype yoyos before.

keep in mind these were mostly for looks, just to see the shape. i have since modified a few of our favorites to be more producible. for these i was using blender, but i just got autocad and will be making them in that from now on.
