Final Production (!)

With the Engel IM machine down and only one week of on-campus classes left, it was a mad rush to produce 35 yo-yos. But after many hours, some blood, and plenty of self-timer photos, all 35 yo-yos were done! Overall, the production runs went smoothly once the IM parameters were set and the color pellets were changed.

In addition to producing the IM parts, we needed to machine the spacers on the lathe and thermoform and cut the mountain stands.

Post-production, we had to measure one critical dimension of the IM parts and then cut off all the runners. After that came assembly!

After assembly, our 35 yo-yos were ready for a photo shoot!
