Printed the cradles and the bearings push into place but they don’t spin freely at all cause they’re under pressure from the sides. I can see in your assembly video you have to press yours in as well. We’re just not supposed to rely on the bearings to roll and just use the smooth surface of the bearing?

This is exactly what I was looking for. I can't wait to get it printed. Thank you for providing the plans for free. I will try to make a contribution soon.

Great device. Printed and working at first try. Thank you.

this is awesome! but one problem the geared spool holder is too small for all of my spools is the a larger one?

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for this great project!

many Tks. for a fantastic gadget, I printed all the parts, but I can't find the spindle clip for the main shaft one only....

Awesome! Hey do you remember what filament you used for this video? I'm looking for a lighter black and this seems pretty close!

Just bought this kit off ebay. Very happy with it, however the part at 5:10 that you're putting the driver bit into, mine is different, it has a different insert and my phillips but will not go all the way in, as its not deep enough.

Hi, where can i purchase one of these from.i can really do with one right now

I've just printed it all out. Printed fine but for some reason the cogs are a little tight when sliding them into the gaps. I'm using a bambu x1c. Any ideas? I'm now trying again printing outer walls first

I see a lot of questions askiing the publisher directly not answered, I don't think the person behind this can read or speak English unfortunately that's why he uses hand signals to get his point across any language.

Second thoughts too: after the kinks are worked out, a nore compact version of the winder, ran at a slower pace, enclosed so you could heat and dry the most stubbornly damp spools would be a great idea to pounce on. I have a spool of BL PETG-Basic that lifts or spits fragments after printing the outer 2 or 3 layers of windings off the source spool. Even with 8/12/24 hours of drying at 65-70C down to 10% relative humidity, the wet filament problem rears it's ugly head. A slow back and forth transfer in a heated enclosure would be way better at fixing these most stubborn spools into a printable state.

Pro tip from someone who worked at righing shops. We would put something flat, dense and heavy atop the reels to keep light spools or reels from bouncing. At the larger scale: usually forklift forks acting as a guide. In the 3d printed realm, maybe a plate with hordes of captuve hex nuts? Or the provision for adding mass to the stationary frame that holds the source spool? Or making a bit of a turntable to support the spool below? A bushing to make the reel spin on the vertical post on that source reel would rid some of the shocks and jounces. Finally: a longer vertical pole and an arbor you can screw-clamp to the pole would reduce the jumping when you get near the end. On the larger cable winder/spoolers, we had variable speed contol with a foot pedal, just like a sewing machine does. That'll take another mechanism or a modification from the cordless drill to a dedicated winding motor. Love all your winder examples. I will need to print one shortly.

Very Smart design. I am using a 2kg spool and the passive spool axe is too short. Is there a way to make it longer?

Question. Why do we need to rewind a spool?

Great design. I did have one issue with a bad spool to where the drive bit stripped out the drive winder. So I made the winder with two diff styles one with a manual handle the other with a 3/8 octagon post for the drill to grip onto. Printed at 100% for strength at that point.

Well, I'll be printing that next week.

That looks fantastic! I hate the cardboard spools because of their debris

is everything all party 3d print, or a bunch of screws and bearings, looking for 3d print only.

this thing was the biggest waste of my time. the portion that directs the filament back and forth gets stuck on half of it and spools only half of the spool.

Thank you for this project. It came out perfect the first print. 🥳

Merci beaucoup pour ce montage très bien expliqué ...............

im getting failed prints with the spools i used pastamatic for. bad layering. anyone else having this problem? bambu p1s ams combo

I gotta say, first video I've seen, don't know how many others there are, but I really appreciate the non-verbal instructions. It's clear what to do by the video, and you don't get bogged down by talking about everything. In addition to that, you're not limiting your audience by only speaking one language. And thank you for the winder, looks like it'll work a TON better than my old one, as it sits in pieces lol

what are those round bits you put the pegs through, they look like bearings. if they are bearings, what size please?

I'm grateful and I bless you, wonderful human being

I used the project file to print on an X1C and was amazed at how much of the build plate could actually be used successfully! This opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities, plus the winder is one of the best I've come across. Just finished assembly so I'll post a Make soon, but wanted to take a moment to thank you here.

Did you model all the pieces in fusion 360?

Just finished printing it. Waiting on bearings to come in to build it.

Ohhhh so that's how I use the tpu bits lol thanks dude great build

sorry if missed it what is the largest spool you can use?

This is the third winder I built, and honestly I can't tell you how much BETTER it is. Thank you. So much better.

Will this work for transferring filament from a 3KG spool to a 1KG spool?

Unfortunately it will not wind up on the spool cylindrically, for me it winds on the spool favoring one side so that it ends up as a cone. Seems that the reversing mechanism is not working as it should. It looks pretty smooth but I will sand the grooves in case it is getting hung up on an imperfection.

This is the BEST filament winder! It's wonderfully designed and very easy to assemble. Great job!

Building it now. Just waiting for one more piece to print. I separated the plates for printing. I really like this idea and I'm super excited. I think this is the best design yet!

Verry good, subbed and liked

thanks

🤘🤘

Waiting on my last piece to print. Thanks!

can i use a 3Kg Cardboard Spool to Transfer it to a Plastic one for AMS? The Diameter and with are much bigger than the 1kg to 1Kg. Thanks

Works very well!! Thank You!!

Беру!!!)

HELP !!!

I printed all the parts a few at a time instead of trying to do One Plate idea. All of the parts came out great, EXCEPT the two female spindles. After many times of trying different parameters and setting, still can't print. I even turned them upside down so that it prints the stem first, still crashes when it gets to the soft curls. Can I send you pics. Maybe you can tell me what I am doing wrong. Your winder seems to be the best. Sure would like to have it all together working.

I give up trying to print the 2 female holders. I have tried different filaments, different parameters, different pla, petg, no different. It prints the stem ok, but when it starts printing the curl, it goes into spaghetti mode. I tried at least 15 different ways to print this. The sad part is that I left those parts to the end (I didn't try the whole plate idea) so everything else is printed, but the item is worthless without the spool holders, especially the drive. Anyone else have this problem? I am using a Bambu P1S. If Mr GekoPrime is reading this, please help... Thanks to everyone.

Wait a minute, is this 3kg spool put into a 1k roll for AMS?, based on what i saw online, how??

Made it... despite 2 power cuts. Restart after 1st power cut caused a weakness in the tallest parts, so reprinted the "bars" on side rather than on end, which should make them stronger as well. I think the 2nd power cut was short enough the strength was not lost on the one piece I had to reprint on end. BTW.. the demo video linked on the printables page is showing "not available any more". And ... I am very pleased with the results. Busy winding metallic silk PLA off some 1/2 Kg narrow spools (that do not fit in the AMS) on to some normal size spares. Thank you very much for a nice tool.

I HIGHLY recommend sanding each piece of the gears before putting it together. Mine was so tight and wouldnt budge until I sanded the sides of the gears and used some WD 40 on them for lubrication.

Pretty damn awesome!!!! Absolutely love it!
