3D Printer Filament Rewinder Station - Hand Crank

thingiverse

Hello,\r\n\r\nThis item has been designed to facilitate the transfer of filament from one large spool that does not fit your printer/print spool holder/other reason to another. Based on the Cube 3 Printer Filament Winder base by Chaman, and the modification "Cube 3 3D Printer Filament Rewinder BIGGER SPOOL" by bolsoncerrado, this entire system is for hand winding instead of using a drill and drill bit system.\r\n\r\nThis summary aims to simplify the process of printing this device - as the original makers did not provide one. The device is sized to fit a spool to transfer FROM up to at least 7.87" x 7.87" x 2.83" TIANESE 1.75mm diameter 1KG spool (linked below for reference). It can accommodate a somewhat larger spool size but there is only about 1 and 1/4 inch height clearance and 1/2 inch width clearance currently.\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5CVXJV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1\r\n\r\nThe device is sized to fit a spool to transfer TO a Solutech 1.75mm diameter 1KG spool which is 8" x 8" x 2" (linked below for reference). The important thing here is that file 12 from my design is specifically designed to fit that spool interior diameter, which is about 57mm (and is still a bit small for it - you'll see further in the instructions) [Updated version forthcoming]. It's possible with some ingenuity to adapt it to your own, and it will be some trial and error.\r\n\r\nTo assemble this device, you will need the following files from the original thing by Chaman which can be found here.\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1805107/files\r\n\r\n1.stl\r\n2.stl\r\n3.stl (You will need to print 2 of these)\r\n8.stl \r\n\r\nAdditionally, you will need the following files from the updated thing by bolsoncerrado.\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2468077/files\r\n\r\n4_BQ.stl\r\n11_BQ.stl (You will need to print 2 of these).\r\n\r\nFinally, you will need the following files from my set:\r\n5_Ender.stl\r\n6_Ender.stl\r\n7_Ender.stl\r\n10_Ender.stl\r\n12_EnderSolutech.stl (You will need to print 2 of these).\r\n\r\nI have included all necessary files from the other two in order to make access and use easier, but please take a look at what they've created! I couldn't have made this without their contributions.\r\n\r\nOnce you have downloaded everything, go ahead and get them printed. None of them required supports and I printed everything on a 3DWox 1 with default advanced settings - orientation and print quality will depend on your printer's capabilities. You'll always know the best way to print the objects.\r\n\r\nAfter printing, everything fits together well, except for object 12 which needs some gorilla tape wrapped around its ends to give a small amount of extra cushion and size, and prevent the spool holder piece from spinning around - so it isn't currently perfectly sized, but the tape makes it work well.\r\n\r\nFeel free to use and modify under Non-Commercial and Creative Commons with Attribution to all contributors. \r\n\r\nBest regards,\r\n-EnderAstraeus
