Model Overview & Print Notes

Summary

These are currently UNTESTED clones of vintage singer fashion cams.
UPDATE: CAMS 31 AND 37 ARE NEEDLE-BREAKERS - ONLY USE AT 50% WIDTH!

Being unable to find these anywhere - and Chinese clones going for between $10 and $20 EACH! - motivation was high to create some open source jobs.

I'd love if you guys/Gals can test these and let me know which ones need work.
I have plans to make a few custom ones of my own too.

See the video for details on the initial design and testing process.

Bonus: Bobbin drive ring gear STL also included. not perfect but will get you out of a jam.

I have tested the type 1 (zigzag) cam on a singer model 527 - which is not specifically designed to have interchangeable cams, but will take these.

There are a couple missing in the series as I have been unable to get quality scans of them, or find a sample anywhere - feel free to send me a flatbed scan of any you'd like me to make.

CAUTION!: If printed on a properly configured machine, these will be a tight fit - as I designed them for laser cutting, and exploited the beam width of the machine, you may want to add 1% to the size - let me know in the comments how you go.

Singer models that these are supposed to be compatible with:
