Bobineur de fil avec engrenages coniques

This is a remix model of my own free model (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4558066 ) for better durability and functionality. It uses bevel gears and some drilling guide has been added to make sure you got gears distances right.

This winder can be use with this yarn swift : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4558303

I used some hardware to build this:

• 2x M6 x 40mm button head screws, washers and nylon hex nuts for 1st and 2nd gears, with 3x 606 bearings.
• 2x M6 x 60mm button head screws, washers and nylon hex nuts for 3rd gear and spindle, with 4x 606 bearings.
• 1x M6 x 40mm button head screw, washer and nylon hex nut for crank handle with 2x 606 bearings.
• 2x M5 x 35mm button head screws, washers and nylon hex nuts for carriage arm and 3rd gear assembly.
• Screws for yarn guide and foot pads.
• Anti-skid foot pads for a better grip while cranking...

Screws lengths required may differ according with the base thickness and washers used, I have made some countersink from under to reduce my base thickness and hide nuts...

M6 and M4 washers should be used to shim the bearings from base plate, spindle base and between small gear and 3rd gear because they only touch the inner bearings rings and let them free to spin.

Nylon hex nuts are needed because you cannot press the bearings to hard because they won’t roll... Bearings spacers sandwiched between two bearings (gear 1, carriage arm, gear 3, crank handle) help in a way that inner bearing cores are squeezed together against the spacer. That way you could tight those bolts (not too much) without worrying.

You may have to glue the spindle to the spindle base when you're happy with your assembly.
