Modular 44 Rims

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

Use these files to design and print your own custom rims for the Modular 44. Two types of rim designs are available- rigid and flexible rim models.

The rigid models are similar to the POM rims included with the yoyo; these should be printed in PLA, PETG, Nylon, or any other rigid material.

The flexible models use a different interface to connect to the hub. Use a TPU or FLEX filament to print these rims. Be sure to remove the O-ring on the hub before attaching a flexible rim.

The rim templates are stored in a .dwg file; this is a 2-D file format that should be easier to modify with a wide variety of CAD softwares. Dimensions are in millimeters. The dotted line on the left side of the drawing is the centerline of the rim; this should be used to revolve the sketch into a 3-D model. The dotted line on the top of the drawing represents the center of width of the Mod44; use this to calculate the total width of the assembled yoyo.

Reducing vibe in your 3-D printed rims is a trial and error process. Some tuning will usually be needed to achieve smooth performance. If you are looking for a dead smooth yoyo, there are already a multitude of budget metal yoyos that will provide what you’re looking for.

A great resource for those just getting started with yoyo design is the "Yoyo Designers" Facebook group; we highly recommend joining if you haven't already.

Happy printing! If you have any questions/concerns/recommendations don't hesitate to direct message us on Instagram or Facebook.
