Update - In the video I said the larger pulleys on the spindle will go faster. This is wrong. The smaller pulley on the spindle is faster.
Here is an explanation of how to get the 3D printed parts if you don't have a 3D printer: www.dreamingro...
You can get the 3d printed parts at:
www.thingivers...
In addition to the 3d printed parts you will need these:
1) 3/8 inch diameter rod:
www.mcmaster.c...
2) 6804-2RS, Bearing:
www.mcmaster.c...
3) R6-2RS Bearing -
www.mcmaster.c...
The 3/8 inch rod could be made out of many different materials like aluminum or steel. Just try to make sure it is 3/8 inch or smaller like the one linked above. I had to sand my rod to remove oxidation before the bearings would fit, but then it worked great.
There are much cheaper places to buy these bearings online, but the McMaster listing is likely to stick around and I really like all the extra information they put for their parts (I use them a lot for prototyping). Feel free to look around for other options for these bearings. Also EEW 6.0 comes with extras of the R6-2RS bearing so you might not need that one.

i finally got round to watching this... an even better solution requiring no elastic band is to just put the drive band over the brake whorl on the bobbin and drive it directly

Nice addition to the EEW 6.0. I use weaving bobbins a lot to store small samples of yarn. Thanks for the update.

@seaweedeater3104 3 года назад

Dude! Love it. And I can’t wait for the eel wheel 6. I’m hanging out for that thing👍🏻😀

@AncientWire 3 года назад

Perhaps use a wooden dowel if you want to shape it into a spindle. I love pointy bits on spinning wheels :) Sleeping Beauty got me interested in spinning long ago :) Oh, now my brain is on - how about a knitting needle? Some are sturdier than others.

@DreamingRobotsBlog 3 года назад

Great suggestion. I agree a wood dowel is worth trying. I actually thought of that while I was prototyping this, but didn't have a 3/8 inch dowel in my basement and then forgot to mention it while talking about the video.

@Laurent.pierrard 3 года назад

hi, I believe it is the opposite, the bigger the pulley, the slower it will turn, but nice nonetheless ; I can't wait to receive the tools from Kickstarter campaign :)

@DreamingRobotsBlog 3 года назад

You're right. Thanks for pointing this out. I had to go see what I said in the video, and I have no idea why I said this the wrong way in the video. I really do know how gears/pulleys work :-) I've added an update to the description to help people avoid confusion here for some people.

@ksisu1324 3 года назад

Great idea!!! Lots to fiddle around with. I can hardly wait till February! Thank you for the update!

@phyrewillow6463 3 года назад

I’ve been spinning thread, and bobbins would be a great way to store it, so this would be perfect!

@makeitwithpam2795 3 года назад

Love it! I faked a drill attachment to wind my weaving bobbins and this is classier.

@masseynaolstynski5390 3 года назад

A suggestion.. Taper down the rest of the bar that sticks out for a quill spindle and make it dule pourposes use

@DreamingRobotsBlog 3 года назад

I mentioned that in the video. Great minds think alike :-)

@SocksnGreys 3 года назад

Seems like this could be done (with smaller bar, etc) with the Nano too, right?

@DreamingRobotsBlog 3 года назад

The Nano uses the same bearings so this exact version would work with the EEW Nano. It would be able to use the EEW Nano bobbins for storage, but you couldn't use other generic storage bobbins because they would be too long for the EEW Nano.

If I only want to print the pieces for winding onto a EEW 6.0 Bobbin (not a weaving bobbin), which of the files should I print? And also, it looks like I'd only need the 6804-2RS bearing? Or am I mistaken? Thanks!

@DreamingRobotsBlog 4 дня назад

You can reuse the smaller bearing if you like. Yes, you don't need the weaving bobbin if you are not going to use it. Just print the files you plan to use.

@CJMactaggartknits 2 года назад

Genius !!!

@colleencoover1288 3 года назад

Maybe a big pointy knitting needle for a spindle?

@DreamingRobotsBlog 3 года назад

There was an earlier video on my channel about doing that. This would be a better spindle because it would be perfectly centered and more stable, but this one is more difficult to do.

@richardlo1330 2 года назад

what about a keyway on your second truncated cone to keep the spool static, instead of a rubber band?

@DreamingRobotsBlog 2 года назад

I think you'd need a key on the bobbin then, unless I'm not understanding you. The rubber band does work pretty well, but I agree there are certainly other options. I did that one mostly because it was the easiest and work well when I tested it.

@richardlo1330 2 года назад

@@DreamingRobotsBlog Yes, a slot on one and a key on the other…keyway…:)

@grayautumnday 2 года назад

Any suggestions for those of us who use the currently-most-common weaving shuttle bobbins that have a max insertable diameter of less than 1/4”? (Ashford shuttle bobbins, harrisville wood shuttle bobbins)

@DreamingRobotsBlog 2 года назад

I do have a 3d printed bobbin that is in the style of a weaving shuttle bobbin. You could print those and they work with this setup. If you want to use existing bobbins this would need to be redesigned to work with those smaller diameter bobbins and different bearings would be needed. Maybe I'll look at something like that in the future; I'll try to find time to do a better version of this someday with support for 3/8 and 1/4".

@grayautumnday 2 года назад

@@DreamingRobotsBlog Joel at Snortimer’s suggested inserts on all the parts to use a 1/4” shaft, and said he’d try to think of a way to print inserts to narrow the cones to hold my Ashford/Schacht/Harrisville shuttle bobbins. It sure would be nice to not need a separate hand crank bobbin winder. :-)

@catherinez1268 3 года назад

for a spindle, try a long knitting needle

@DreamingRobotsBlog 3 года назад

We did that for a different project. The reason that won't work very well on this one is a knitting needle won't have a perfect fit into the bearing I'm using and the point of this one was to get a really ideal fit. If you aren't as concerned about a super smooth fit then a needle like you suggested would probably work.
