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
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.
absolutely magnificent winder, I was looking for something that was relatively simple to put together and actually worked and this model does that perfectly. Was a little worries about the tightness of the gears as I put it together, also worried about the spindles coming off their position since there is no cap to hold them in place but the minute I put in my drill on it just worked perfectly....first spool done and very glad I have it ready to go for the next time I need it. My old winder is going in the garbage right now..Thank you very much for sharing!!!
Even though I have not yet tested this (printed the parts out) - I applaud your dedication that went into this, listing all the parts and where to get them from, it's nice of you ...thanks
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.
just finished printing this, yet to test it and mine isn't as nicely coloured, i used scraps of PLA i had laying around, so some parts are green, white, black orange etc lol. truly appreciate the effort and time you have saved me winding spools with just a drill attachment. thanks :)
I printed the parts (All went very well) I put it together and BAM!!! It WORKS! No tweaking, no troubleshooting, no frustration.. it works! AWESOME winder!!! But one question.... WHY is it called Pastamatic??? I don't see any way to make pasta with it... lol.
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!
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.
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.
For the life of me, I can't get the thin wiper bladesto fit into the notches for them. I keep having them snap near the base. Too much friction! Ah... but then I used PLA and you used TPU. That was my first guess! That's what I get for need reading the instructions closely enough!
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?
Il primo piatto gia stampato...il secondo e in macchina! Sicuramente meglio del precedente progetto che ho gia fatto ma funziona...questo e molto piu semplice ed efficace... grazie mille
This winder works very well, highly recommended. That said, here are some suggestions for improvement: I'd leave more clearance for the gears, the channels are quite narrow and they don't need to be. I couldn't fit the gears at all and I had to sand them just to fit them in. I'd also create a variant of the wiper holders, in my case the TPU wipers were impossible to pull into place. I would also add another extrusion on the target spindle, so that it is pressed into place in the direction of the gears: if you don't hold the target spool there, the lead screw range will cause one part of the spool to receive more filament than the other (far) end. Otherwise, the compromises made in this design are very good and the result is impressive.
I printed mine with Pla+ and they were a very tight fit. They would go in about an inch or so and jam. I very lightly used a small hammer and just kept tapping then down. Support the wipers between your thumb and fingers when tapping it down. Worked for me. This a phenomenal build compared to the others I tried with gears that would never spool.
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'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
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.
For anyone using PLA for the wiper blades like I did - Insert the skinny edge of the blade into the slot, not the fat edge. They will slide right in and work just fine. Also, print more than two of these blades right off the bat. You'll thank me later.
Wish I had read this earlier. Broke one and now need to reprint, but have a 5 hour job going. Will have to wait. I don't have any TPU, how well does the PLA work? Mine are pretty rigid and not nearly as flexible as his.
@@JamesReadsandGames The PLA works ok. The trick is ensuring the spools are properly aligned with one another so there's minimal side to side movement that would require one to readjust the tension created by the wiper blades. It will take some practice before you find the best tension that works for you. Ultimately, TPU is the ideal material for this use case but PLA can be a suitable substitute with a little tweaking.
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.
This IS the winder we have been looking for... thanks dude, awesome work.

Fantastic rewinder! Printed it with my P1S and had no difficulties whatsoever. Thank you very much!

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

This is the BEST re spoiler in the world thank you

If you haven't made pasta yet, it means it did its work, nobody wants spaghetti!
thank you for keeping it simple. i dont need another project with stuff i have to source from amazon or aliexpress.
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!
Thank you for this project. It came out perfect the first print.
🥳
Thank you! Printed and working! Simply amazing.
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for this great project!
Great device. Printed and working at first try. Thank you.
I'm grateful and I bless you, wonderful human being
Ohhhh so that's how I use the tpu bits lol thanks dude great build
Waiting on my last piece to print. Thanks!
You, sir, are a genius. Thank you so much!
Pretty damn awesome!!!! Absolutely love it!
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.
this is awesome! but one problem the geared spool holder is too small for all of my spools is the a larger one?
Merci beaucoup pour ce montage très bien expliqué ...............
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.
I kind of wish it had a handle!
Great ideas and execution! Hats off!
Thank you!
Works very well!! Thank You!!
we can use thick carbord from filiment spools as those wings.
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....
A Real smart design, congratulations
For the life of me, I can't get the thin wiper bladesto fit into the notches for them. I keep having them snap near the base. Too much friction! Ah... but then I used PLA and you used TPU. That was my first guess! That's what I get for need reading the instructions closely enough!

Just finished printing it. Waiting on bearings to come in to build it.
Ein wirklich schönes Gerät. Ich habe es gedruckt und es funktioniert tadellos. Vielen Dank für Deine Mühe.
Il primo piatto gia stampato...il secondo e in macchina!
Sicuramente meglio del precedente progetto che ho gia fatto ma funziona...questo e molto piu semplice ed efficace... grazie mille
ciao,per i pezzi del telaio hai usato i supporti?
Can we print just half? Only the side of the receiver/target? My printer is only 180x180x180 😅
This winder works very well, highly recommended. That said, here are some suggestions for improvement: I'd leave more clearance for the gears, the channels are quite narrow and they don't need to be. I couldn't fit the gears at all and I had to sand them just to fit them in. I'd also create a variant of the wiper holders, in my case the TPU wipers were impossible to pull into place.

Otherwise, the compromises made in this design are very good and the result is impressive.
I had the same issue with the TPU wipers and just can't seem to get them to slid in as easy as the video. Any suggestions?

forget my origional comment. I printed them again with different filament and i caliberated it too and now then fit perfect. Thanks for a great design
what are those round bits you put the pegs through, they look like bearings.
if they are bearings, what size please?
sorry if missed it what is the largest spool you can use?
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.
going fast af i thought i was racing to put this together with him
I can’t even see that parts he’s using because he doesn’t show them to the camera - they’re either completely in his hand or off screen
Did you model all the pieces in fusion 360?
Will this work for transferring filament from a 3KG spool to a 1KG spool?
will it be ok to print in PLA? (except for the TPU flaps)
Yes, that's what I used
Do you have some more info about setting up the motor?
I feel like I've trimmed all the brim from the wipers but I just can't get them to insert. They are TPU. Any tips?
looks very promising! NICE

What bearings does it use 608 ZZ or 2rs
608 is the size. ZZ means a stainless steel shield, 2RS means a rubber shield. The shield type doesn't matter in this application
what size bearings are those being used?
608 2RS Ball Bearings
Amazing:)
im getting failed prints with the spools i used pastamatic for. bad layering. anyone else having this problem? bambu p1s ams combo
thanks
