^Checkout this remix, it's an upgrade over this model.

 

 

This design is a work in progress.

SO: "I want to buy this wool winder and yarn swift, it'll help me kit better"
me: "ok, how much is it?"

...later

me: "is it ok if I 3D print it?"
SO: "uhh yeah, just don't take forever"

Here we are 2 months later. I've got my first draft of the wool winder printed and I'm still working on the Yarn Swift (I'll link it once it's up). https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/24617-yarn-swift

I've designed this to be used at the edge of a tabletop with 1 or two c-clamps to hold it in place for use. To build this you'll need:
3 M8x80 bolts,4 M8 washers
2 M8 nuts4 skateboard bearings.

Planned updates:
Improved yarn threader armbase clamps using 3d printed/threaded clamp
reduced mechanism sizeoptimized bobbin size (I'd appreciate comments on this)

Print instructions

I printed this in ABS with 4 perimeter layers at 15% infill.
