3D model description

This model includes a 3D printed cone with a female port to accept a 3/8" drive adapter (https://a.co/d/elTQFl7, $2.25) to be powered by a cordless drill. The cone includes a top hat that is held in place by two 12x3 mm magnets (https://a.co/d/2RISe2f, $7 for 30 magnets), one superglued to the cone and one to the top hat.

I use a clean 5 gallon bucket to place my skein or ball into and wind away. I use one hand to operate the drill and the other to guide the yarn. This whole process takes about 90 seconds for 450 yards of yarn. Once wound, the top hat is removed and the yarn used from the cone as you normally would.

Print one top hat and multiple cones.

3D printing settings

The cone is printed with its base on the build plate, no supports, at 0.3 mm layer height and 15% infill. The top hat was printed with its base on the build plate, supports on the build plate, at 0.3 mm layer height and 15% infill.
