The Carey Kite Winder winds string fast! This handy plastic winder makes reeling in your line easier than ever before! With its sleek spinner handles and angled line guides, this winder can take in a whopping 10 inches of line with each turn. It holds up to an impressive 1,000 feet of 50-pound line. The ORIGINAL Product is manufactured by Carey's Winder, a company based at 317 State Street in Pulaski, Virginia 24301, and is known as CAREY'S WINDER, boasting a U.S. Patent No. D0260 479. You can find out more about this amazing product on their website: https://www.careyswinder.com. My replica model is extremely accurate, consisting of five components that are expertly crafted to mimic the original. Each of two identical components - the HANDLE and the END CAP - showcase exceptional attention to detail. The REEL and HANDLE are precision-made from durable plastic, while the END CAP is crafted from rubber with a Shore-A Hardness rating yet to be determined. Thanks to its innovative snap joint design featuring two plastic arms on each side of the REEL, no metallic components are required. The original fastening method for the handle on the reel utilizes a simple injection molding process, and other solutions are certainly possible. I'd love to hear your thoughts and see if you have any alternative proposals. Perhaps we can even visualize them with some added pictures in our project comments. This model is sure to be of interest to many and is, in fact, 3D printable. The data formats available for download include a STEP-file of the complete assembly, STL-files (.stl) of all components, native files (.prt) and (.asm), packaged in a convenient (.7z)-folder perfect for users of »PTC Creo Parametric 2.0«.
