After our chat with Joe and Dave last Wednesday, October 10th, the team made some changes to the mechanism and aesthetics of our yo-yo.
- Bitcoin logo side
- The Bitcoin logo will snap-on to the dome or will be over-molded. The manufacturing technique is still TBD.
- Stock Market side
- The stock market line will be be a snap-on, an overmold or will be painted on. Thus, we have deterred from the original idea of making the line a channel in which a liquid with gold glitter (like that in snow globes) will be inserted and will be able to move around freely within the channel.
- Shaft for string gap
- As for the shaft originally designed, we will change to those manufactured in class because this knot and bolt design could cause some problems with the string while the yo-yo is spinning. Firstly, the string could get touched, and secondly, there might be too much friction and the yo-yo will not be able to go back up.
- Below is the old design and right below that one is the design of the 008 shaft, the one we'll be using.
- Thermoformed packaging
We know have the design of our thermoformed part which will be used for the packing of our yo-yo.
Those are all the updates at the moment, but after the Yo-yo design review we will be updating on any changes to this current design.
