"Last metre" yoyos

When you use up each roll of 3D printing filament near the end you never use up everything exactly. There is always a little bit leftover, commonly known as the "last metre" of filament. Unless you really try to think of something small to print, there isn't much to do with just a few grams of leftovers.

One thing you can do with last metres is to combine them into a bigger thing... and back in the day I actually hoarded a bunch of them thinking that maaaaybe one day I'd have the patience or idea to do something useful with them.

So these two piles of rainbow vomit are the result of splicing a bunch of last metres together. They're spliced in-extruder: load a few grams of filament at a time, and let the out-of-filament detection handle the pausing. Just need to do the filament switching on every pause.

Both yoyos are entirely PLA, but there are 6 years worth of different brands and "types" like high speed, matte, tough, pro, plus, or whatever that I didn't even keep track of. Just mixed them all together and hope they hold up lol 🤷‍♂️

The base yoyos are @layerinfinity Meridion and Zepheus

Colors are intentionally combined to look as 🤮 as possible

Unboxing my Layer Infinity order. 🎆

Many thanks, Wayne927, for the amazing surprises!! ❤️

I was planning to do a video, but it's hard to find quiet time with two little juggernauts running around. 😄

I made an order for a Pizza Klassm, a responsive bi-plastic yoyo with a machined polycarbonate body and printed caps. I love the classic feel of this one. It was so awesome of Wayne to print me a Red Pand cap. 🔥🔥🔥

The blue slim hybrid unresponsive yoyo is stunning! It doesn't have a name yet, but he has a write-up of it on his Instagram. Keep an eye out for these after Worlds. 😍

I love the shape of the yellow one. This one is also nameless. It's in the prototype stage right now, but I have to admit I strung this one up first and I really dug the feel. ❤️

This was so awesome of Wayne, and thank you!!! 🔥❤️🔥

Some mid-2000 throwback vibes.

I was probably thinking of a narrow organic shape like Freehand, but the inner rim made it more of a G&E. (I forgot which yoyo had that "volcano" style hub. I must've copied it from something...)

Also made it undersized and super pocket friendly. The result is the smallest yoyo I can make so far

Best served with a flat bearing for the full nostalgia, although a concave bearing is an absolute game changer for a 2000's throw 🔥 by @wayne927

Testing some midshippiness with this one.

This wasn't what I intended to make with a modern shape like this, but I just had to try putting small rims in the middle of a full size body for that midship weight. That soft and comfy feeling is growing on me 😸
