Winder for re-purposing spent filament spools

Been dating this gal who does a lot of crocheting. She commented on how it was risky to use the yarn as it comes from the store as it may be tangled while you're part-way through. Winding yarn seems like a hassle to me, gave me an idea. "Why not re-purpose all these spent filament reels so she can use em to store and use her yarn? Why not make a winder to speed up the process?" Now I have no idea if winding yarn on a spool is actually a good idea or not. But I wanted to make it anyways, so here it is. Could be used for all sorts of string, yarn, rope, line and anything else of similar description. Only hardware required is a 5/16" bolt and nylock nut. Bolt needs to be > 1.5" long. The body requires printing with supports. The rest of the parts require no support. I advise printing WITHOUT a brim! I plan on cutting up an old mouse pad and gluing it to the table clamp part in order to give it more grip and less of a chance to mar the surface of furniture.
