SummaryReplacement Cone Thread Holder for Brother Sewing Machine I created this for my mom as her original was old, brittle and cracking. There are 2 parts to this: The 'plate' on which the thread cone sits The 'spindle' that is inserted into the thread cone to stabilize it on the rod. There are 2 versions of the spindle a. With slots - this is a replica of the original part, but can be brittle when 3D printed b. Without slots - a much stronger part when 3D printed These printed very nicely on my Printrbot Metal Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the printed parts before mailing to mom :( You can copy and modify my designs here on OnShape: http://tinyurl.com/goltqvx
