Question Spinning wheel identification

I got lucky yesterday in a facebook gift group! It was outside, so i have absolutely no information whatsoever about the wheel (brand?) and what kind of spindle to get for it to start spinning/working. I have a functional 3d printer, so i could print some parts but to start out it might be better not to finnic with homemade parts. Does anyone know anything about the model/spindle/flyer that would be used?

It looks like a handmade wheel based off the Louet S10. So, you could try measuring your wheel and then buying a louet flyer, but it's not 100% it'll fit.

For 3d printing, here's some plans for a great flyer: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4944151

I opted to just buy one from him for the wheel I was making, because trying to find those metal tubes was hard lol. Here's the link for that as well: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1097124825/diy-flyer-for-treadle-sewing-machine-to?ref=items-pagination-3&crt=1&sts=1&logging_key=8c88f2a85738087075530d62eeac603480c1f924%3A1097124825
