I bought my X winder a while ago, I have the first version. Its been frustrating getting used to the software and its problems but rewarding in the long run. I have concentrated more on building in natural fibres
Here is a triple asymmetric helix in Sisal/epoxy

We've made some pattern improvements on the 4X-23 - have a look at a recent winding session

I also made this roller with teflon stock. It's kept in place with two aluminum angles with pins as axle so it rolls better.

I made this roller gluing two concave rollers and washers. This helps keeping the filament centered. I was having issues with the filament slipping out of the flat roller and getting stuck in the side. I'm thinking on buying a 3D printer and making all rollers like this
Read more…Hi there I was wondering if it is possible to adjust the transition speed at the ends of the winding. As the ends tend to slip I am thinking a slower Transition from 45 to 90 degrees at the ends may improve this problem. Any thoughts on that?
