Yarn/Wool Winder - 3D Printed - Power Tool Driven
This design only uses printed parts, no additional screws or bearings are required. To do this I have used large printed screws and threads. The all printed Yarn Winder runs surprisingly well and I have seen no wear at all after the equivalent of 50 skeins of wool.
The yarn winder is all printed, clamps to a desk or counter and is powered by a cordless Drill/Driver using a 9/16 inch or 14 mm socket.

Parts and printing suggestions (See diagram)
I used PLA for all parts and increased the wall thickness from 1.2 mm to 3.6 mm to get the strength I needed.
Main Body - Wall thickness 3.6 mm. Support everywhere. 3 times the normal thickness to add strength for the G Clamp and screw thread. I used 20% infill everywhere but you can go higher.
Gear 1 - Standard wall thickness 1.2 mm
Gear 2 - Standard wall thickness 1.2 mm
Center Gear - Wall thickness 3.6 mm. Supports - touching build plate
Large Gear - Standard wall thickness 1.2 mm - no supports
Large Gear Screw - Wall thickness 3.6 mm. Supports - touching build plate
G-Clamp Screw - Wall thickness 3.6 mm. Supports - none
Center gear Tool - Standard wall thickness 1.2 mm no supports
I have provided the AMF/STL files in the position I printed the parts.
Optional
Gear 2 Lid. Standard wall thickness 1.2 mm No supports
Counter Weights
Yarn Guide/Tension - Wall thickness 3.6 mm. Support everywhere. 3 times the normal thickness to add strength for the G Clamp and screw thread. I used 20% infill everywhere but you can go higher. The Yarn Guide/Tension uses the same G-Clamp screw as the Winder.
