First run 3yo3 Cosmos up for grabs! **sold out, new batch is a comin!**
« on: April 20, 2009, 11:09:10 AM »

The Cosmo is one of my 3 models of yoyos, from my just starting company, 3yo3.  Large bearing, recessed silicone response, hand machined/hand polished acrylic, about 68 grams.  Great players, all are unresponsive.  Each one was made by me by hand on my metal lathe, but believe me when I say they're precise.  I'm able to lock down the carrage on my lathe, and make one cut on one of my halves. I then switch out the halve, and make the exact same cut on the next. The result?  Each halve has the same diameter, width, angle, etc, so they're well balance, long spinners, and phenomenal players!  Anyways, enough talk, here are some pictures!




888/Cosmo/FHZ - diameter comparison

width comparison

Price is 52 shipped.  I've only got these 6 now, but another batch will be up and coming.  Hurry, this may be the only time to get them at this price!!
Thanks for looking guys!  I'll be turning some on the lathe around May 2nd or so, but I do welcome pre-orders!

I would appreciate it if you could post some comparison pics to other popular yoyos. FHZ perhaps, and 888's.
I'm interested but also want to see INSIDE the hub and a better shot of the bearing seat.

Thx

Those look beautiful.  Love the clear look and shape.  Wish it were heavier tho, but you are really tempting me haha.

Just a word of warning, I'm moving soon and will lose my internet access soon this month.  Not sure when I will get it back so I apologize for my delay in message responding.

Good call dude, I meant to do that, but forgot while I was taking the pictures.  Here's a few specs, its 2.1" diameter, 1.5" width.  I'll get the pictures up here in the next few hours, so do check back. Thanks for the suggestion!

you can see the side there- I cut in at 15 degrees, and being acrylic it gives it a killer lense effect. I'm totally down to ship to the netherlands, but I'd have to add 6 dollars more for the change in shipping if thats cool?

To clear stuff up- I'm not a fan.  The name is actually from a bass-line machine from the early 80s that started the acid house music genre, the Roland TB-303


Also, a German company Fichtel & Sachs made a 1 rotor rotary engine for snowmobiles that was 303 cc displacement.  That is where the name came from, and then I  modded it to fit the yoyo application, hahah. 

If you're wondering where the name cosmo came from- google "Mazda Cosmo"  it was the first production Mazda rotary powered car (Ya, I'm a huge rotary nut haha)
Again these look great.  These look so good, I bloged them

Dude, thank you soo much!!!!

Thank you everyone else for the comments!

Haha good call! I'll definitely be using that as a model name in the future, if that's cool with you?
