Powered Yarn Spinner

This project is for those that have a need to spin yarn into a tightly meshed ball so that the yarn can be neatly stored or used. There are inexpensive manual yarn winders for this spinning purpose. These winders typically have a handle for the user to rotate to spin the yarn and cost typically US$20-30. Powered winders are also available, but at a much higher price of US$300-600.

My project creates an electrically powered yarn winder. The electric winder sources some parts from a manual winder, adds an electric motor, all combined with custom designed 3D printed parts and power by USB-C.

I welcome those wishing to reproduce my yarn spinner as I built it
