We had to change the mold because there was too much of an interference fit between the inner diameter of the outer ring and the outer diameter of the inner ring. However the fit of the ring around the basketball thermoform mold was perfect!

| Our new ring design! Looks similar to the old ring, but has a larger outer diameter. The extra legs on the ring were added in order to be able to eject the part from the core mold. |
To make the appropriate change, we had to make our cavity mold for the ring larger. We added .030" to the other diameter of the ring to make for a more snug fit. Our updated table of specifications can be downloaded here.
With all of our parts finally optimized, we were able to make a final yoyo!
Take a look at it in all it's glory.
Pretty beautiful if you ask us!
It also runs really well. We'll try and post some videos later.
