Summary

Designed by FRC 2729, a custom guide for the AndyMark Winch Spool (am-3348). We found that when winding a thin string, the string would often get caught outside of the spool, so we made a cone-shaped guide to keep the string on the spool at all times.

We found that if we printed with the angle side flat on the build plate, no supports were necessary.  We also printed it completely flat and found that a bit of filing/sanding was necessary, but the quality was still excellent.  Some glue was used to keep the two sides together, but the friction fit was very good to begin with.</p></div>
