Description

PDF

This spool winder works with any(?) 1kg spool with an inner diameter betweeen 40 and 60mm.

This model is a Remix and contains all parts needed from the original (See Luke's 3D Spool Winder v3).

I made this for my wife so she can store her clothsline in a proper way.

 

Parts to print

Basic frame:

  • 2x bearing
  • 4x side
  • 2x bottom
  • 3x rod
  • 6x nut

Universal Axis:

  • 2x AxisCenterRing
  • 1x Axis (Print at 100% infill as this sees a lot of force)
  • 3x AxisNut
  • 2x shaft-washer (maybe more, depending on your spool)

Handle:

  • 1x SpoolHolderHandle
  • 1x SpoolWinder Handle Nut
  • 1x SpoolWinder Handle Grip

Assembly instructions:

  • The basic frame should be easy to figure out (sides and buttom connected with the rods and secured with the nuts). Luke3d has a youtube vid on his version for the cable winder.
  • Handle is also easy, plug the grip on the axis and secure it using the nut
  • Axis: For this i have added a Picture (true piece of Art!). I hope you can make some sense of it.
    • First install the bearings to the sides with the spacer to the outer sides
    • Insert the axis into the handle
    • Insert the axis with the handle into the bearing (the bearings spacer is outside where the handle is)
    • Add a washer (red)
    • Add a center ring
    • Add your spool
    • Add another center ring
    • Add a Axisnut and scew it tight so the spool sits secure
    • Add another axisnut loosely
    • Add a washer
    • Insert everything into the 3nd bearing
    • Now add the last nut from the outside and use the two nuts to secure the bearing between them, so it can rotate freely.
  • If the handle is striking against the body while winding, use an hotgun or hair dryer to heat it up a bit and sliglty bend it outwards. Careful, PLA gets soft very quick.

Have fun & Leave a make!
