About the 3-D Printed Spin-e-Kube Parts
PLA is a plant based plastic, and is available in many colors. We use silk PLA which gives the Spin-e-Kube its’ metallic appearance.
Flyer –
The main yoke of the flyer is 3d printed, but the center of the flyer is a copper shaft, with a ½ inch orifice. This is perfect for most knitting and crochet size yarns. The Flyer arms are made of wood. There are 4 small PLA hooks with the Scotch and irsh tension wheels. The art yarn spinner comes with four small, four medium, and four large hooks.
End Supports/ Maidens –
These are 3d Printed PLA plastic with sealed bearings to prevent wear. No grease or oiling required.Scotch and irish tension wheels have two supports with the flyer balanced between them. Art yarn has one main support with a permanently fixed shaft.
Bobbins –
each machine has 3 included bobbins, Scotch and Irish tension holds about 8 oz of spun fiber. Art yarn bobbins are 1 lbThe center shaft is made from CPVC and glued to the PLA.About the Wood Base
By securely attaching the PLA spinner parts to a sturdy wood base we minimize the wheel travelling or vibrating. This is also accomplished by the rubber feet on the bottom. This ensures a smooth spin and prevents the wheel from “walking” off the table. Our wood bases are from Shapard’s Lumberyard and are available in many wood varieties and in left or right handed variations.
Dimensions – These are about 11.5” L x 11.5” W x 10” H
Bases are expected to contain areas with knots, streaks, and the occasional wood crack, insect hole, sawmark, or ding. These are considered part of the unique design of your base and will not affect the mechanics of the spinner. Please message us if you have specific base requirements or to make a special request.
About the motor and electronics – Our motor is a permanent magnet motor that reaches a maximum speed of about 1400 rpm. It is expected to last at least 1 year under normal daily spinning conditions. The components are tested and assembled in house, and require no maintenance, as they are sealed inside and attached to the base.
Optional Accessories –
Extra belts, bobbins, brake material, etc is always on our website, scroll past the Spin-e-Kubes towards the bottom.
A battery pack,foot switch, wood care, and carry case can be found on amazon.
