Guitar String Winder

thingiverse

Many guitar string winders have failed to impress me in the past, but my son's request sparked a design from scratch. I built one just for him, and here it is. It works flawlessly, can withstand heavy use over time, and features an intuitive design that's easy to print. To assemble this winder, you'll need a single 15mm M5 bolt and a nyloc nut to secure the two parts together.

The body features a matching 5.5mm hole, as well as an 8mm hex space designed to accommodate an M5 nyloc nut such as these from the same online retailer.
