Description
I tried another spool winder but found it finicky and delicate.
I designed this winder from scratch to be simple and robust, using the same self reversing leadscrew mechanism found on industrial cable winders
Why pick this model:
• Prints on a single build plate
• Doesn't require heat set inserts or exotic hardware
• Fusion and STEP files are available, remixes welcomed
• Generous clearances, simple mechanisms
• Designed to be a tool, not a project
Print time:
• ~500 grams of filament
• ~22 hours on Bambu Lab X1
• ~5 minute assembly
• ~2 minute spool transfer
Hardware requirements:
• 14x 608 skate bearings
• A scrap of PTFE tubing
• An electric screwdriver or drill with a bit cut from ¼ inch hex stock (most cheap quick change Philips bits in the US fit this requirement)
Print settings:
• Any. I used "0.16mm Optimal" in BambuSlicer with 5% adaptive cubic infill
• Use 100% concentric infill for spindle_male_driven
• Try the STLs if you have a problem with the 3mf files. I’ve added (xN) to each file name so you know how many to print
Materials:
• Any. I used Polyterra and iiidmax PLA+
• Use TPU for tpu_consumable_wiper_blade. I used Priline 98a. The wiper blades aren’t 100% required but they help keep the windings nice and tight
Assembly and usage:
• Demo video
• Assembly video
• The side that says “Pastamatic" needs to face outwards, away from the spool
• The filament needs to come in under the target spool, like this: O____O
• [not like this: O‾”‾”‾”O]
• The drill/driver needs to run clockwise, as though you're screwing something in
• Accelerate slowly until the winder gets started
