Filamake filament winder

thingiverse

We are launching our unique take on filament winder. Our development team built upon the solid foundation of Ian Johnson's original code, creating a highly stable system that excels in performance. One key feature of our system is its ability to hold two spools simultaneously, increasing overall productivity and efficiency. In addition to the winder itself, we've also designed a geared-cone to securely store our previously published spools, allowing users to easily switch between different materials and diameters. With this setup, it's possible to extrude 50 meters of filament at a time, making large-scale printing projects significantly more manageable. For detailed instructions on how to assemble and use the filamake winder, please visit our website at filamake.com. Please be aware that building this system does require significant manual effort and experimentation to get it running smoothly. Our filamake winder is a meticulously crafted remix of various components from around the web. We extend heartfelt thanks to all the individuals who contributed their files, allowing us to create this highly useful tool. We offer two primary versions of our filament winder: 1. Most parts are created using standard 3D printing technology. 2. The majority of components are laser cut for increased precision and durability. Both designs will be made available shortly. Within the file set, you'll find numerous reference materials that should help anyone accurately calibrate and fine-tune their system to achieve optimal results. Additionally, we've provided two types of spool motor holders, one using DC motors and the other utilizing stepper motors, giving users greater flexibility when selecting components. We invite any interested parties to explore and reconfigure the entire system as needed. For customers who would prefer a more streamlined solution, we are happy to supply pre-configured electronic parts that match our specifications for optimal compatibility.
