'B' overmold- 'B' overmoding was completed on Monday, Dec. 7th and also provides a sleek second half to the housing. With this piece, we were encountering dishing, but adjusting the pressure profile and packing time allowed us to improve this aspect. Though sleek, this part has the defect of a scratch present in the biggest outer diameter of the part. It is due to a scratch that was present in the cavity, but that we had not noticed and then had no time to fix. Below is an image.
Now, finally, images of the yo-yo in separate pieces and the assembled yo-yos can be seen below.

We would like to thank the 2.008 staff, Prof. Hart and Dr. Wendell, as well as the TAs and the shop staff for helping guide us in this journey. We learned a great deal and have a fun yo-yo to show for it.
