[@YoeyYutch]

First time I've seen that kind of reciprocating rack and pinion. Works great! I did need to add a spool tensioner, but luckily the first thing I tried worked. I mounted the whole thing to a board and added a screw hook below the axle, opposite the side with gears. Then I ran a rubber band from the axle to the hook. It prevents the spool from spinning backwards if I stop or slow down. Next thing I have to figure out is how to splice filament together. It's a little more challenging than i expected, as far as making a clean junction that won't get stuck in the printer.

[@jimcree3283]

Really great concept and appreciate the generosity of just making at free and putting out a tutorial vid. I did have a couple of issues I solved in the following ways The piece he places on at 9:40 I had a few issues where it would move slightly off I needed to see EXACTLY which position it needed to be in and CA glued it down, I also had to file down the top of the outside teeth of the linear gear rails (specifically when the spool is way from you the top right and bottom left teeth the just shorten the top of the teeth to give a bit more clearance for the half gear to pass on the ends) The handle kept breaking printed the heavy duty files and it works a treat Thanks for all the hard work

[@Nova1624]

Great instructions -- If you have big clumsy hands like me; sticking the screws for the knobs into a 4.5mm socket (the head sits right on to of the socket) and pressing the assembly together with a vise works great. I know that that 1st knob that went airborne in the shop will eventually turn up.

[@Vojec9]

Miklos, that kind of stuff must be payable. You put a hell of the effort to work properly. I’ll gladly pay you for a couples of coffee😊. Keep a good work in the future. Best

[@mikloskiszely514]

Hey Vojc, thank you for your recognition! The rewinding was just horrible for me, I wanted to make it more comfortable somehow... and because I couldn't find a printable and electronic-free construction for this, I thought about something. I hope that helps for others as well. And last but not least: thank you very much for your coffee invitation :)

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

It took me a while to get everything right, but it works great now! Thoughts/advice: * print out the heavy duty versions of items - the 45mm axis (should be called "axle", right?) broke for me the first time. Which brings me to... * don't turn the handle too hard. Each turn of the hand puts a lot of torque on that 45mm "axis". In my case, whoever/whatever wound the original spool did a lot of weird stuff, almost creating knots that I had to periodically clean out. Don't crank on the handle hard! Clear out any kinks by hand instead. It took more time, but I was still able to transfer a huge spool in maybe 4 minutes. * the filament guide wasn't working for me. 1. Print out the non-slip version of both the 60 gear teeth and 47mm axle. I was getting slippage with the originals and that was part of the reason it wasn't working. The other is to watch the other video he made: (kzbin.info/www/bejne/baWcfJuKZtOAe6c). I had to sand down two teeth. After I did that, everything worked perfectly. Things could be improved, but this is so amazing. The 60 tooth gear would sometimes come off its shaft and it takes a little bit of work to get it back on the right way. I'll probably put a small screw on top of the axle to hold it. Oh, and one more thing. Getting the m3 screws into the knobs was HAAAAARRRDDDDD!!!! I broke a knob trying to tap it in and I simply couldn't get it to work that way. In the end, I used two vice grips to squeeze the screw head into the knob, which was barely doable considering how small the are. If you can't do it, don't sweat it and just use an allen wrench and screw it in. It works just fine.

[@ianmccullough7294]

AMAZING design. Thank you so much! Far and away the biggest, most complex print I've ever done. If you're interested, I have a couple of suggestions, if I may: The tolerances were EXTREMELY tight on *some* parts (like the thumbscrew heads - which may just be the M3 screws I had) and VERY loose on others (like the gear-driven back-and-forth carriage). I'm sure you went through many iterations before posting this given how complicated it is, but I was surprised to see such variances be both loose and tight. It could also be my printer, I don't know. But that was my experience. But again: Ingenious and many thanks. I've needed this device many times, and doing it by hand sucks!

[@Marcelini1989]

Cool and useful design and very informative assembling manual... but aren't some of those bearings just redundant? I think that you could get rid of two of them for sure.

[@deepblue812]

great design, one of my first bigger prints on the P1P. Few tweaks I did to get it working perfectly: 608 bearings I had were just a tad big inner diameter for the axles so had a fair bit of play (even though the outer diameter was a little tight if anything). Everywhere I needed a bearing to sit I increased the axle diameter by 0.15mm to create a shoulder for the bearing. This does make the tolerances quite tight, but went together fine. For the filament gear and axle I added a key like the rest of the axles. Not sure why this one didn't have one, with minimal back pressure it was enough to get the axle to slip. The filament carriage was binding on me at the last tooth, easily fixed by just trimming a small amount from the tooth with an xacto knife (bottom right and top left tooth if facing the machine) so that it wouldn't catch on the turn-around

i printed most off it allready and im having some fitment issues, the shafts that go through the ballbearings arent exactly snugg in there so the gears flop around a little bit and the fitment off the wormwheel is a little bit off as well. it's a little bit to loose requiring me to glue the wormwheel in place. Also your description doesn't say to print the 'Winder and Donor Right Hand Spool Axle Nut' 2 times as well as the 'Screw knob M3 x 6' 4 times other than that i really like the design and the work you put in. Don't take my comment as an complaint but as just info

[@mikloskiszely514]

Hi Joop! Thank you for your feedback! Did you print it with BambuLab? With these printers, the flow rate should be consistent. (as I wrote in the description, please always do "flow rate and bed leveling" for gears and axles) If not, then it sounds to me as if the printer calibration is somehow wrong (flow rate or stepping for accuracy (sizes)?)

Great model but tolerances on my x1c were little bit tighter (cool plate, PLA, not textured PEI like the model plates). I modified it to use 6mm diam 150mm long aluminium rod for the filament guide. Machine shop doesn't have PFTE laying around but had everything else other than that particular size of bearings.

[@Palpalych-j1x]

It would be nice if the winding was for spools of various widths. This can be easily done by tilting the winding unit, if this feature is incorporated into the design.

[@drkenb6097]

I REALLY love the design of this unit! But, I have printed it out entirely twice in PLA+ (except for the housing, only printed that once) and then once again in ABS, and continue to have an issue with the worm gear & axis. There is far too much play in this assembly: as your turn the gears, the worm gear moves forward and backward, away from the slider chassis gear & it results in skipping of the slider mechanism. Looks to me as if there is too much length on this axis & thus the flex. Is anyone else having this difficulty? If so, have you come up with a solution? Seems to me that there should be supports in the housing on either side and close to the worm gear to prevent the axis flexing. I, too, must commend the author for such as outstanding instructional video for the assembly. I have never seen a mime that I liked until this video!!! You are really talented!

[@thewritingengineer]

I'm having the same issue. It seemed to work OK, but when a load was applied to the system the worm gear and axis gear skip. I think a stabilizer bar or secondary cradle fr the worm gear axle might work. I'm going to play around with this for a bit and try not to waste the plastic and effort that went into this project.

I have placed the sled in as you have done at 10:27; however, as I turn the handle to turn it, the sled will travel to the other side, then get "stuck".
