Made more Yarn Cakes today.
Yarn cakes are currently my happy place.

#Yarn #YarnWinder #YarnWitch

Meine Frau hatte sich in "Fachgeschäft" einen #Wollwickler gekauft.
Da das Teil schon nach wenigen Einsätzen knackt, als ob das Getriebe Zahnausfall hat, hab ich mal nach Ersatz geschaut.

Das hier macht einen grundsoliden Eindruck.

Der Druck ist nicht ganz einfach. Die Ausrichtung der Zahnräder muss passen.

Den 6mm Inbus-Anschluss hab ich dran konstruiert.

Die "Spinne" ist gerade noch im Druck.

Yarn/Wool Winder All printed power tool driven by DAC3D7

Yarn/Wool Winder - 3D Printed - Power Tool DrivenMarch 14 Added additional versions of the screws as original versions were too tight for some printers. "X1" versions have more clearance on the screws so should screw in more easily that the original ones. The "X2" have even more clearance.If the screws are too loose they will unscrew during operation so you may have to check this out when you first operate the wool winder. Feb 7, 2012 - Added files in STL format as some people could not use the AMF format. Files are the same you need one or the other not both. AMF files are in the position I printed them. STL format will have to be positioned for printing.Jan 24, 2021 - Updated main body to increase strength of clampThis design only uses printed parts, no additional screws or bearings are required. To do this I have used large printed screws and threads. The all printed Yarn Winder runs surprisingly well and I have seen no wear at all after the equivalent of 50 skeins of wool.The yarn winder is all printed, clamps to a desk or counter and is powered by a cordless Drill/Driver using a 9/16 inch or 14 mm socket.Demos and assembly video on Youtube.https://youtu.be/086WCk0imxkParts and printing suggestions (See diagram)I used PLA for all parts and increased the wall thickness from 1.2 mm to 3.6 mm to get the strength I needed.Main Body - Wall thickness 3.6 mm. Support everywhere. 3 times the normal thickness to add strength for the G Clamp and screw thread. I used 20% infill everywhere but you can go higher.Gear 1 - Standard wall thickness 1.2 mmGear 2 - Standard wall thickness 1.2 mmCenter Gear - Wall thickness 3.6 mm.
