I modified the axle holder to have springy sides. This version can stretch to cradle the axle without applying too much friction. I will still print in rigid plastic.
I printed the springy axle holder in rigid plastic and ground a new axle. The work to adjust the tension was a small fraction of the previous hardware, but I should correct the off-center connection points so the sides flex without skewing the ends.
I had an idea for integrating spongy fishing lure segments into the design to provide lateral spinner movement. The left sketch showed the base with sockets for three small cylinders at the perimeter of the spinner holder, and the right is a design for using a pair of larger cylinders.
I modeled the disc to hold a nut and fishing lure segments. I used three small sockets in the model but made the disc thicker to make the cylinders sit levelly on the nut. There will be an identical piece on the bottom.
The first draft for the case will be minimal so I can operate inside efficiently. When I confirm the dimensions and see everything working, I will have to figure out how to install the axle holder and seal it up.
The case is currently a shell with supports on either side. I can use this to judge the best elastic cylinder length and feedback bolt height.
The rest of the summary posts have been arranged by date.
