Nicholas, that mod looks great. Why not make that the default? I don't see any disadvantages. If there's a part you're on the fence about, you can alway push it to a branch on GitHub. Then everyone can have access.
Also related to the part, where does the string go from the tuner spool? This is what I'll call the part that the string goes in and then turns, on the guitar peg winder. Looking at the Simpson Flickr set (e.g. [www.flickr.com]), the positioning of the tuner spool is quite different. On the most recent files I'm looking at, the tuner spool and a screw are both popping out of the big flat side, just like the motor. On the pics, the tuner spool goes into the channel between the two gear halves. I have to assume this was some design improvement; do you have any pics with the (presumably newer) motor arm showing the line winding? Thanks.
To partially answer my own question, just came across a post right before the files release where Nicholas explains the reason for the changes. In the picture, the rounded edge of the motor arm part makes it clear that the line wraps to to the edge and then around. Still, from there, I'm not sure. Nicholas or Owens, could you describe the flow of the line wrapping? Thanks
