I Redesigned My Best-Selling Disc Dyeing Tool… Then Built Something Better?

The Spin Dye Jig Rig has been one of my best-selling products for years… but also one of the most misunderstood.

So I decided to redesign it.

What started as a few small improvements quickly turned into a deep dive into 3D printing, product design, failed prototypes, print issues, ergonomics, tolerances, and eventually… a completely new system built from the ground up.

In this video, I walk through:

• Why I redesigned Dave’s Spin Dye Jig Rig
• The problems with the original version
• What I learned from years of 3D printing
• How I improved the design while using LESS material
• The story behind the new D.A.V.E.’S system
• The expanding pulley mechanism that inspired it
• And where this project is headed next

D.A.V.E.’S stands for:
Dave’s Automatic Variable Expander System

It’s a new auto-centering disc dyeing jig that uses an expanding pulley mechanism to grip either the inner or outer rim of a disc.

And honestly… this might just be the beginning. Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. What would YOU want in the ultimate disc dyeing jig?

If you’re a Dyers Guild member, I’ll be opening prototype access before the public release because I want real feedback from real disc dyers before this thing officially launches.
