Orifice for spinning wheel

thingiverse

UPDATE 2/10/17: A brand new STL is now available! I've finally managed to design the hole into the "orifice" part. As yet, this design hasn't been test printed, but it's likely that some gentle heat work will be necessary to smooth out the inside of the hole (to prevent wool fibers from getting caught). This spinning wheel orifice design is not drilled, but does feature an indicator center mark. I strongly recommend pilot drilling at 10 degrees from vertical, followed by final drilling with a 5/16" bit. A little heat polish will help keep the wool fibers from catching on the inside of the orifice. There's also a hole made for the spindle axle. The axle will need to be epoxied firmly into place. Be sure to check out my other files, particularly my 'maiden' STL file. This orifice is designed to ride snugly inside that maiden at Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1499648/#files
