I printed the spool winder by V3 Precision as had a couple spools that were not working well in the AMS.

Although it worked and uses no fittings other than the screws to hold it down, it didn't respool as I expected.

• I had to touch the doner to add resistance to it otherwise it free wheeled too much and filament wouldn't spool nicely.
• I also found that a lot of filament would gather to one side but would couldn't move the spool guide over as then the gears would not mesh. The would cause it to fall to the middle and be lose on the spool. I was only able to get around 800g on the spool before I ran in to issues.
• I also thought the spool guide moved too quickly.
• I also looked in to other remixes available and found it was possible to print stronger parts support free, so now only a few parts need supports.

So I have put together a profile brining the remixes together.

• I was also inspired by the remix that split the worm gear but I split it myself so that I couold add connectors to make it easy to join. This can be assembled without glue and the threads keep together but I added a small amount along the length.
• I added custom wipers inspired by the ones in the Pastamatic winder. I just used some cardboard but you can print and use the TPU winders from the winder.
• I cut the top from the filament guide, this allows it to be printed with its top on the build plate and therefore doesn't need supports.
• I also made the worm gear about as large as it can be for the size of the stand to slow down the guild movement speed. It is also deeper so it can be positioned further forward so the filament doesn't gather all on one side. After my modifications I was able to transfer a brand new 1kg spool with no issues.

Another tip, avoid over extrusion as the threads are very tight (I had to do some clean up).

It would still be possible to add the manual handle. I was always intending to use with the 3/8" drive so i have not included the handle parts, but you can always get them from the source models.

This is a day in printing and the best part of 1kg in filament. Might be better to move the parts around on plates and print parts in end of rolls which is what I did as there are not that many parts that actually require a larger amount of filament.

Infill is high and the number of walls is fairly high as most parts need to be tough as will be taking the wear. However even driving mine with a drill I haven't had any issues and it tends to bed itself in.
