This adaptable spindle cradle is designed to be both practical and ergonomic. The design currently accommodates spindles with an inner diameter of 50mm using a convenient push-button release mechanism. Utilizing a sturdy 8mm hardware bolt and nut (not modeled) to secure the arm to the base adapter and another to enable smooth rotation of the spindle holder, This model includes all necessary files to create various types of spindle holders, including: Single Spindle Dual Spindle With Filter (optional requires glue and sponge) Without Filter In the near future, additional base designs such as bolt-down models and compact ones will be uploaded. Additional spindle sizes will also be added. I have been unable to test the functions of this design due to a lack of access to a printer. Consequently, certain aspects may not operate as intended, with the spool release mechanism being the primary concern. Print at your own risk; however, kindly share any suggestions for improvements or feedback you may have. Please note that printing multiple parts will necessitate supports. Furthermore, it is recommended to use an adhesive to secure the two base pieces together. I plan to print and modify this design within the coming weeks to test its functionality. Updates on progress can be expected; this design should become fully functional within a month. Inspired by http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:119016 Attachments: 1. Attach the adapter piece to the base plate using adhesive glue, 2-part epoxy, superglue, or similar. 2. Securely attach the chosen arm to the Base assembly using an 8mm bolt of suitable length and corresponding nut in the desired position. 3. Connect the spindle holder to the arm assembly by inserting a partially threaded 8mm bolt into the arm, through the holder, and securing with a washer and corresponding nut. Apply lubricant as needed.
