From Sickburn Yo-Yo Workshop:
“Fixed axle (no bearing) lotus flower shaped yoyo. This is a big one, I recommend slicing to end up around 60 grams. The axle is threaded on both ends and screws into the halves.
For the axle infill density, shape, and filament type is very important. If you print with defaults or standard PLA the axle will break. I recommend using a strong filament such as HTPLA, PLA+, PETG, or carbon fiber. Infill should be 30-50% and one of the directionally strong infill types such as honeycomb, cubic, or triangles.
I’ve included a 3mf file compatible with MMU3 so that you can do color versions.”
“This is a print in place one piece yo-yo, just add string. It is styled after classic imperial shapes but has a chunk bit out of it at the bottom to allow for easy printing. It has 6 holes hidden in the gap create drag for response.
Recommended to print at very low layer height (0.05 to 0.07) and 100% infill. Shown here printed in Prusament Linden Wood. “
“I thought to myself that a Werther’s Original candy would make for some good yo-yo pull starts if it wasn’t so tiny.
This uses a 5mm x 20mm stainless steel shelf pin as the axle. These are the ones I used. https://amzn.to/42dpFui. I recommend a tiny drop of super glue in the axle hole, then the pin, then the other half with glue as well. If you want it to work well slice it to 54-60 grams weight.
If your yo-yo doesn’t come back up when you tug please add a drop of lubricant to the end of the string and massage it in, or rub the string with some chapstick. “

From Sickburn Yo-Yo Workshop:
“This is a reimagining of the classic Silver Bullet yoyo as a fixed axle. Show here 3d printed in Prusament Linden Tree wood filament.
It uses a 4mm x 20mm stainless steel shelf pin as the axle. These are the ones I used. https://amzn.to/4jaDzUQ. I recommend a tiny drop of super glue in the axle hole then the pin, then the other half with glue as well. Print this one at 100% infill.
The six shooter holes act as the response to make this one go back up.”
