3D Printer Filament Rewinder Station - Hand Crank

thingiverse

Hello, This item has been made to support the transfer of filament from one large spool that does not fit your printer/print spool holder/other reason to another. This is based originally on the Cube 3 Printer Filament Winder base by Chaman, and the modification to it "Cube 3 3D Printer Filament Rewinder BIGGER SPOOL" by bolsoncerrado. This entire system is for hand winding instead of using a drill and drill bit system to do it for you. I am including a brief summary in order to help ease the process of printing this - as the original makers did not include this. The device is sized to fit a spool to transfer FROM up to at least 7.87" x 7.87" x 2.83" TIANESE 1.75mm diameter 1KG spool (linked below for reference). It is possible for it to support a somewhat larger spool size but there is only about 1 and 1/4 inch height clearance and 1/2 inch width clearance currently. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5CVXJV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The device is sized to fit a spool to transfer TO a Solutech 1.75mm diameter 1KG spool which is 8" x 8" x 2" (linked below for reference). The important thing here is that file 12 from my design is specifically designed to fit that spool interior diameter which is about 57mm (and is still a bit small for it - you'll see further in the instructions) [Updated version forthcoming]. It is possible with some cleverness to adapt it to your own, it will be some trial and error. The following files are needed from the original thing by chaman which can be found here. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1805107/files 1.stl 2.stl 3.stl (You will need to print 2 of these) 8.stl The following files are needed from the updated thing by bolsoncerrado https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2468077/files 4_BQ.stl 11_BQ.stl (You will need to print 2 of these). And finally from my set: 5_Ender.stl 6_Ender.stl 7_Ender.stl 10_Ender.stl 12_EnderSolutech.stl (You will need to print 2 of these). I have gone ahead and added the files from the other two in order to ease access and use, but please take a look at what these others have made! I couldn't have made this without their originals! Once you've got all of these downloaded, go ahead and get them printed. I will state that none of them required supports and I printed everything on a 3DWox 1 with default advanced settings - orientation of the figures and how well they print will be entirely based on your printer - you will always know the best way to print the objects. Once printed everything does fit together pretty well, the only thing I had to do was take some gorilla tape and wrap a small amount around object 12's ends to give a small amount of extra cushion and size, and prevent the spool holder piece from just spinning around - so it isn't currently perfectly sized, but the tape makes it work well.
