UPDATED: Hand & Drill powered filament winder

pinshape

This project involves building a Drill Powered Filament Winder. It's actually the other half of my Legacy Benchtop Extruder from the Kickstarter project that I'm still working on. As of July 2015, the Legacy prototype is being updated and re-engineered into a kit at Lake Washington Institute of Technology. The idea is to have a winder that can be operated and adjusted by hand or power tool, with the option to upgrade to 110V. We also want control via an Arduino 2650 board. I appreciate your patience as I upload files after printing and testing them. This is an Open Source Winder, so any input is welcome. Check out my Kickstarter project at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lizhavlin/wastestream-to-mainstream-recycling-into-3d-printing. I'm using a combination of things I've found on Thingiverse to make this winder work. Keep in mind that I'm not an engineer, so I'm printing, testing, and hacking it together with the idea that if I can do it, anyone can do it. (That's my motto!) My drill is a Rigid cordless model, which you can find on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:934326.
