Louet bobbin

3D printed bobbin that fits Louet's spinning wheel models S10, S17 and S50.

 

The tube is a transparent acrylic tube with an outer diameter of 16 mm. The hole in the ends of the roll is 8 mm in diameter. There is no hole in the tube, it is perfectly smooth, but if the surface feels slippery, you can sand it down with sandpaper.

The length of the bobbin is about 17.5cm and the diameter of the wider end is 9.4cm and the diameter of the narrower end is 7.8cm

 

The colour tones may look slightly different, depending on the screen.

 

The bobbin is easy to assemble by pressing the ends of the bobbin onto the ends of the tube. The ends fit snugly into the pipe, and there is no need to glue it. If you wish, you can glue the bobbin, using ordinary instant glue.

Do not use fishing line or metallic string with 3D printed bobbins, they will wear out the plastic. Use cotton string instead.

Bobbins are printed on order, I pack orders within 1-3 days of order.

 

Material PLA plastic. PLA softens at temperatures above 60 degrees Celsius. PLA is an environmentally friendly plastic made mainly from plant-based materials such as corn.
