Overlock spool holder for Silvercrest sewing machine

Overlocker spools are much cheaper than standard sewing spools for the same length, so I designed a holder to easily use them on my sewing machine.

My machine has a coil holder slot with a 6mm hexagonal recessed hole (between two parallel sides of the hexagon)

If your support slot is different, this model will have to be adapted

Printing instructions:

• I advise you to print the stem separately with a very small layer height (0.1mm or less) so that it has a good accuracy 
• I also advise you to print it in PETG with at least 3 perimeters so that it is strong
• For the 2 other parts, you can print them with a layer height of 0.3mm to save printing time
• No supports needed
• For the stem, to avoid warping you can add brim, but the two “helper_disk” I put at the two ends of the stem in the 3mf should be enough

Mounting instructions:

• Remove the 2 helper discs at the ends of the stem
• Insert the bottom part (the wider one) onto the hexagon stem
• Place the stem in the support slot of your sewing machine and push the bottom part until it is in contact with the body of your machine
• You can put super glue to fix the stem and the bottom part together (remove the holder from the machine before doing this)
• Place the spool on the holder
• Place the top part on the holder

As all my models, it is available as pay what you want.

So if it helps you, please consider giving me a tip or saying thank you in the comments ^w^
