Weaving Shuttle Bobbins

I generated several weaving bobbins to insert into boat shuttles.  Several are modified to accommodate more yarn.  The trade off for this is they require either hand winding or using the unique Ashford bobbin winder due to the narrow hole.  I included the basic Fusion template I used for these.  I found it easiest to just modify the dimensions, then mirror and join for each version. If you are not a novice at Fusion, you probably know of a more elegant method than this “brute force” approach.

Regardless, here are the specifications for each version (each number is in mm):

Description                    Length     Rod Dia     Hole Dia    End Diameter

Ashford *                          110             9                5                12

HandyMan-Original       150           11                7                21

HandyMan-Modified *                       7                3

Schact-Original               100           11                8                25

Schact-Modified *                              9               5

             * indicates printed and in the photos

Print in vertical orientation for a clean interior hole.  You may/may not be able to print w/o supports.  I have had mixed success on this.
