Description
Winder to attach your empty Dremel spools to an electric drill so that you can wind on refill and third party filaments.
Also see my manual spool winder Thing:3918099
I have published a suitable spool holder for the source filament spool here. thing:3823334
If you use filament refills rather than spools, I have published a Masterspool which will print on Dremel here. thing:3786341.
This is best printed in PLA a bit hotter than usual, so that you get good adhesion of the layers.
If you must print in a plastic which does not bond well, such as ABS then there is a hole to take an optional M4 x 50mm machine screw to strengthen the layers forming the threads to reduce the chances of them snapping off.
If your printer prints a thick first layer (as mine does) then you may need to trim the edge of the hole in the base with a knife before inserting the drill bit. This is designed to be a tight fit and may need a gentle tap with a hammer to insert it. It should be a tight enough fit without gluing.
I design these things for myself but I have published them for you. If they make your life easier or save you money then please do not forget to "Tip Designer"!
