<\/p>\nThe world is becoming excited with the new possibilities of 3D printers. Up until now, yo-yos were only made through machining or injection molds, so 3D printers are naturally making waves in the yo-yo community. At last month’s 2014 Japan National Yo-Yo Contest, Mods Division, there was a challenge division exclusively for 3D printer made yo-yos. Yo-Yo player \u201cEast\u201d won the Special Award in that division with his \u201cLoop Ying-Yan.\u201d Now he’s here with his newest model, the Hatch.
\n<\/p>\n
Of course these were also made with a 3D printer. The name Hatch appears to be inspired by the Japanese word for bee \u201chachi\u201d and its nest. Doesn’t it look just like a honeycomb? You can read a bit about the manufacturing process at East’s blog (sorry, Japanese only).<\/a><\/p>\n The construction itself is extremely simple, and there are very few parts to deal with so this yo-yo could be ideal even for beginners. Recently, wood and nylon axles have become increasingly rare due to their general lack of spin power, but the Hatch actually spins quite well.<\/p>\n For even more detailed information on Hatch, see here (sorry, Japanese only). East has also written an article on how to make yo-yos with a 3D printer, which you can see here, but it will be taken down once he finishes his e-book on the subject so hurry and check it out while you still can!
