Janome thread spool cap

thingiverse

Honestly I'm not familiar with sewing machines so I don't know how to call this thing properly. My mother-in-law calls it thread holder, but after checking how others name it, it looks like the proper name is "thread cap". It's for Janome sewing machine. Remix was done in OpenSCAD. Now I realize I could try to edit the Blender file of my previous remix, but well, I chose another way. I just scaled the STL in OpenSCAD and cut the bottom. The result is holding the spool very tight, but I couldn't fit it all on the rod (the bottom hole was too small). I chamfered it a little bit with an Exacto knife, and my mother-in-law is happy now. I added "relaxed" version which is about 1% bigger, which is probably what you want. Or you can try the "tight" version and use a knife or file if necessary. UPD: The relaxed version wasn't relaxed enough. Replaced by very relaxed version. Or, you can scale it as much as you need.
