Spool (Re) Winder - Prusament Revised Edition

Design

Inspired from the nice ReSpool ~ Prusament edition model designed by Jacob Kincheloe I designed my own one with Fusion 360 to use it with larger spools (up to 75mm width) and with a higher support to have more space around the crank handle

The base of the support is also larger and I added holes to fix it with 4 or 5mm screws on a board or a bench

I kept original transmission system top gear (That is a brilliant idea) between support and Prusament Spool and added some adjustable spacers to compensate spool width

So if I want to change for an other spool brand, I just need to design a new interface and add corresponding spacers

Later I'll design new interfaces and gears for other spool brands I use (Like Filament PM or Sakata 3D)

Note that top gear and bottom gear aren't available (yet) in my model. You can print them from the original ReSpool ~ Prusament edition. The gears you'll find in the Fusion 360 model are draft version and were not checked nor printed yet

I also modified a bit the look of the support to match the Prusa MINI Base design and add some grip to the crank handle. I could have been used Fuzzy Skin instead

I recycled an aluminum axis of 11.2mm diameter I had in stock in my workshop. So no need for me to print it. I just adapted Support and Spool Axis Center to it

Printing instructions

All parts but top gear and bottom gear are printed with Prusament PETG Jet Black and Orange using PrusaSlicer standard parameters

Top gear and bottom gear are printed with Prusament PLA Orange also using PrusaSlicer standard parameters

I printed with 0.4mm nozzle diameter and 0.20mm layer height almost all parts. I just used 0.10mm layer height for crank axis and handle for smooth surface and solidity. You can use 0.25mm layer height to print support faster (9H40 vs 12H30)

No support is needed but for top gear

Assembly and required material

To assemble the spool winder just follow the excellent instructions and pictures from the original model ReSpool ~ Prusament edition

For material, you'll just need CA glue to assemble crank

On top of .stl and .3mf files, I uploaded Fusion 360 .f3d file so you can modify the design and adapt it to your needs

Fusion 360 file included adaptors for SAKATA 3D and Filament PM spools 

If you need special adaptor feel free to ask me

As usual, feedback and comments (and for sure "likes") will be always welcome. Feel free to post nice pictures of your makes

Enjoy
