Summary

Do you diabolo (also known as "Chinese Yo-yo")? Are you tired of winding the string round the sticks to put them away, only to find the string is tangled again when you try to remove them?
Hopefully, then, this model is for you.
Designed to look (a bit) like a diabolo with a crossed pair of sticks, this will hold a pair of sticks (tucked into the two holes, which are angled to provide a little bit of a grip), and the string can be wrapped around the axle of the holder, then tucked into a little gap to hold firm.
I've printed this at anywhere from .12mm to .2mm, and can't say I really have much of a preference. As you can see from the pictures, there's a nice effect with using two filaments, where the diabolo body and the sticks can be different colours.
