What it is
A simple yarn spinning tool to facilitate the unravelling of yarn while doing a crochet or knitting project.
The spinning has been made more efficient by using magnets that are repelling each other.
What do I need
- PLA
- 2 small magnets, 5mm diameter, approx 2.5mm height (example on Amazon)
- A hot glue gun
How do I print it
0.2mm layer height, no support needed. I personally preferred printing the two parts separately. Some light fan speed is also preferable.
How do I assemble it
- Print the two parts (called the base and the stem)
- Polish the rod part of the base
- Take two magnets and make sure to mark them so that you can remember their repelling orientation
- Insert one of them in the insert at the top of the base. It can be press-fitted, or you can glue it to the insert
- Put some glue on the second magnet, and while the glue is still melted, shove the magnet to the top of the stem's hole. This step is a bit tricky, I had to first glue the magnet to a chopstick before putting glue on the other side of the magnet
