Industrial Sewing Machine Cone Thread Holder

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted an inexpensive way to add more thread to my industrial sewing machine and not the flimsy little metal rods that come with them.</p> <p>This might not be something that everyone can use - but the idea can be useful for other things.</p> <p>A standard 1/2" Sched 40 T fitting is a perfect fit for my thread-stand pipe. I tapped a hole in the side and added a bolt so I could tighten it (though it doesn't really need it).</p> <p>I added a horizontal 1/2" pipe and two more T's with uprights just a bit longer than the cone height.</p> <p>The cone stand fits snugly over the T's and fits a cone thread holder much better than the thin metal rods that are normally used. This should fit most industrial size thread spools (1/2 lb and 1 lb spools).</p> <p>I have a small sample saddle you can print to make-sure your prints and pipes match-up. I'm sure a small scale up/down would make a perfect fit.</p> <p>Please comment/post a make if this helps you out.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>FLSUN i3 2017 Version</p> <p><p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>.2</p></div><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>25%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Hatchbox PLA Blue <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>Print upside down so the open-end is up.
