Spool tool for sewing machines

thingiverse

The last four decades, my mother has been constantly creating things. She works with glass, Fimo, knitting, crocheting, stitching, and numerous other materials. As she discovered that a 3D printer is not just a toy but can create useful tools, she showed me her spool storage from the sewing machine. All the threads were unwinding rapidly and things were becoming disorganized quickly. This little clamp solves her problem. I mean... lots of little clamps are needed;-) If you want to change the diameter, height, or wing length, you can modify the parameters in the provided Fusion 360 files. The factory files are designed for my Prusa MKS2 and PLA filament from Rigid Ink.
