Last night I spent some time making additional code to add the linear Z axis. So far it appears to be working(simulated) well. I've also eliminated 2 of the buttons, and automated the entire cleaning and spinning cycle. I've no way to simulated a drying step in the form of a heater and fan on the software I'm using, so that will need to be done once I order the parts. Once I finalize everything in the code, like adding a limit switch for the Z axis, ill order the parts, complete the build, and post it here. So far, I'm at around $120USD for the build, without frame, but with the Z axis. Removing the Z axis, the cost is around $70USD without the frame. This does not include jars or basket costs though. -

Thanks for looking into this John. I'm still waiting for my adapter to be made. And in a wild turn of events, another moseley jeweling caliper popped up on ebay and sold for around $200. I regret not buying that one. -
The question is what mainspring and you trying to fit in this case. Is it the correct length or is it too long and that's why you're having problems? You say the winder is for a ETA 6497.1. Can you confirm the diameter. -
So I just screwed up a ST3600 (6497 clone) mainspring. But tbh, I've struggled with this with both automatic and manual mainsprings with the same issue. Like I say, everyone I see do this does so without an issue. How do I end up having to using brute strength or lift the winder handle (at great risk of spectacular uncoil). I have tried articulating the bridle in what I would think would be a logical manner to get it into the winder. -
I think one is attached to the wheel and the other side is then attached to it. I'll have a closer look tonight when I get home.
