Description

If you have ever, like me, found yourself needing to wind VHS videotape manually, then this could be the print for you.

 

Just pop the clutch onto the cassette so that the pokey-bit goes into the release hole, then use the big, easy-to-hold winder to turn the reel in which ever direction you choose.

 

When you'e done, just pull the clutch off and stow it away in the handy recess integrated into the winder, which ensures that it won't go missing!

 

I found this useful when I needed to clean some old tape, and the only existing models I found out there were far too small for my adult hands to use comfortably, and the clutch was prone to being lost between uses.  This design provides something for your fingers to hold onto.

 

As with most of my models, I'm solving a problem that I have encountered myself, and sharing it in case somebody else has the same need.

 

Print profile is set up to print both models one at a time. So if you want to print them in different colours, all you need to do is a simple change of filament for one of the objects .
