Clapton Maker

Here's a quick video on how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z7MtFeiFi8 This is the first version, feel free to suggest improvements. The Clapton Maker is designed to work with Zivipf spools. If you want to use other spools, just create a small adapter tube. For cable passages, use resistance pins for Protank / Vivi Nova / CE4 (check out the last photo). You should have those somewhere. You'll need: * 40mm threaded rod * 2 M4 nuts (1 at the base and one in reverse to prevent loosening when the spool turns) * 1 M4 wing nut (can be replaced with a regular nut) * A spring * 2 M4 washers * Some Loctite 243 to prevent the threaded rod from coming loose when the bottom nut is tightened * 3 resistance pins like Protank 2 / Vivi Nova / CE4 Important: for optimal performance, the spool must be tightened so that there's a small resistance when turning it manually. Good luck with the build!
