Abstract
The intensive use of products such as fishing reels in a wet atmosphere near the rivers, seas, and lakes, brings more often need for their maintenance. The chance of malfunctioning is rising in the case of irregular care. In this case, using the principles of reverse engineering and the fused deposition modelling method for 3D printing of parts, the maintaining process of a technical system such as a spinning reel was researched. The Shimano AX 4000FB fishing reel was completely reassembled. All parts of the assembly were checked and the complexity of the disassembly/assembly process was analysed. Considering this, the redesign of the existing spinning reel model Shimano AX 4000FB was proposed using CATIA V5 software to facilitate maintenance. The redesigned parts were printed using the low-cost Creality Ender 3 3D printer. Some parts of the spinning reel were kept, while most of the parts were 3D printed. The housing of the featured spinning reel now consists of three parts instead of two to facilitate easier disassembly and maintenance approach. The thickness of the housing wall has been increased to ensure better resistance to excessive dynamic loads. The bearing bushes were replaced by two ball bearings. After assembling, functionality was tested in the real environment and no problems were encountered.
