Alpha Herring spinning wheel bobbin

thingiverse

This is a bobbin designed to fit only the Alpha Herring spinning wheel. As the bobbin screws onto the spinning wheel, I used a metal insert with thread, as I wasn't sure about the longevity of pla on metal......... I ordered the insert from Amazon for ease of delivery, but exactly the same thing is available elsewhere. Below is the UK site, but if you just check the details, I'm sure you will be able to find somewhere that sells something the same thing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GZRMRS5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I used an epoxy resin to stick the insert in. I think superglue would work, but I haven't tried it (I'm a big fan of the epoxy!) The UK Amazon link for the one I use is below, but again, I'm fairly certain you can get it elsewhere...... https://www.amazon.co.uk/JB-Weld-Original-Cold-Formula/dp/B0044US7SY/ref=sr_1_9?crid=3BE01L317CQYM&keywords=jb+weld&qid=1574595854&s=diy&sprefix=JB+%2Cdiy%2C145&sr=1-9 You need to print one core and 2 ends. I've designed them in separate pieces as I only have a small print area, and also because I like to be able to break down my bobbins for storage. The ends are identical, and screw onto the core.
