Filawinder spool hook

thingiverse

This replacement part fits snugly on top of the original filawinder cogwheel, securing a hook that expertly grips into place around any spool. Engineered specifically for Innofil spools, it also accommodates modifications to suit other types with just a minor adjustment - cutting a small hole on the side. The continuous winding process becomes remarkably efficient and reliable thanks to this addition, virtually eliminating slipping occurrences altogether. This customized solution draws inspiration from the original filawinder design, with notable improvements included for enhanced performance. By shortening the cylindrical section of the unit, unnecessary tension is removed, allowing users to install the spool effortlessly. It's essential to double-check that the newly aligned arm doesn't compromise any board components; discrepancies in motor and cog placement might arise, potentially leading to equipment failure if left unchecked.
