When I make symmetrical parts from a 2D scan I mirror them along the symmetries and hull the results (they have always been convex so far) and then apply some rounding with offset.

Sorry Gene - my addled brain! Minutes before posting, I'd been searching Things for 'chuck adapter' and had just dismissed one of the many irrelevant hits, this 'String Trimmer Spool Winder'. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3024616 Reading barely further than your 'winders' triggered my dumb assumption that I'd missed a thread on the topic!
