About this model

Ok, OK, call me a "Damn Yankee" but the Yankee thrift in me hates to throw away the filament spools I have from my 3D printing hobby. So I made this spool re-winder for my wife's crochet. 1. She hates it when she finds a knot in the skein part way through a project 2. She doesn't like chasing her skeins around the room 3. The skein tends to tangle when you get down to the last of it So now I can happily print my little heart out and she can more thoroughly enjoy her hobby as well.
