Motorized spool design
thingiverse
Hasn't been tested yet, this is just a design. WARNING ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ I checked the motors manual rotation, and it is way too much friction for the normal running of spool with the motor turned off. So basically they are not practical for this design, you have to decouple them in some way but that is complicated.. I am now on to test real stepper motors (pancake Nema17), they don't have anything friction as they have microsteps. A new design will be online very soon, please skip this design, it's not practical. Parts needed to finish: - Spool (57mm hole size) - tie wraps (to join the motor bracket to a side part) - M4 bolts and nuts for motor - M3 screws for crossbeams - 28BYJ motor with control board (cheap small motor) - Arduino or Pi or etc. - Knowledge how to control a motor from a pi/arduino I didnt check size of the crossbeam, but you can resize in slicer to any size you need, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3516858
