Thompson Flytying Bobbin Spool

thingiverse

So I have this vintage Thompson Bobbin that I love to use for my hobby of fly tying. Though this tool has been out of production since the 1950's I know there are still circulating the planet and I have attained two of them. The problem is that they come with two bobbins to load your thread and I have wished for years to find more out there, but after trying to search the net for years now, I am convinced that people will not part with their spools. So I ventured to learn to create it on Autodesk Fusion 360 and print with Ultimaker Cura to slice and print to my 3d printer. After a few trials, I got the dimension correct and was happy after doing a little sanding with my Dremel tool. I love the website and love the contributions from so many people out there, and now its my turn to contribute something that may be found one day by someone with a Thompson Bobbin tool that has wished to have more spools for every color thread they use on their flies. Cheers.
