Pair your own 3D-printed parts with the EEW Maker Kit hardware kit to build a custom electric spinning wheel. I supply the specialized hardware (including the custom motor, stainless steel spindle, circuit board, bearings, ceramic guides, and fasteners) while you print the chassis in your favorite colors. Everything plugs, snaps, and screws together with no soldering or coding required.

Project Links & Documentation

Recommended Print Settings

  • Material: PETG or PLA. Both performed great in testing, though PETG handles warmer temperatures better and offers slightly more flex for snap fits.

  • Build Volume Required: 205 x 130mm minimum for the largest part.

  • Supports: None required. Files load in their intended print orientation.

  • Layer Height: 0.2mm (others should also work)

  • Other print settings can use defaults

Which Files Should I Print?

  1. Start with TestPrint.stl: Print this test file first to check your printer tolerances and overhang abilities.

  2. Core Parts: Print one of each file from 01 to 18, except for 12-FlyerArm-x2 and 13-SlidingHook-x2 (print two of each). Parts 07, 08, and 09 build one bobbin. The hardware kit includes enough bearings for 5 bobbins.

  3. Loose Fit Replacements: If the standard test print is too tight, substitute the matching parts with the loose versions in the Loose Fit folder.

  4. Tools & Accessories: Check the Tools folder for bearing press helpers and the Accessories folder for battery holders and other parts.

Modifying & Remixing Original Autodesk Fusion (.f3d) and STEP files are included in the CAD folder to enable modification. If you share a remix, tag it with #EEWMakerKit.
