Description
A remix model of smaller spool holder found at https://www.printables.com/model/1234213-cable-spool-holder-gridfinity made by firstgizmo. Tired of standard pvc (twin and earth) cable spools falling apart when they get old and used? and and even more hard to store neatly! I have remixed the original by @firstgizmo to be larger and specifically designed to accept empty 1 kg filament spool reels which are typically 200mm wide. Brand spools such as Sunlu will seperate in the centre and are perfect for adding cable to, closing up and adding to this cassette. Consists of: 2 x side panels (add a plate and clone the panel) Top half (with 3mm screw holes for addition of locking latch) Bottom half 8 x screws Locking latch attaching with 2 x m3 12 nut and bolt (I find bonding adhesive and activator work very well if you dont have screws) Locking latch brace. Please note the latch and brace will be updated as they could be better but feel free to remix Sides fit to the top and bottom brackets well and require some pressure to clip them together and the screws give added strength. The screw isnt great but does fit. At the time of uploading I do not know how much cable these will hold (size dependant) but I expect over 50m of standard 1mm UK style twin and earth pvc insulated household cable. Less as diameter increases. I am working on a tool to assist with winding but suggest you add cable by means of spool seperation and closure once in the centre. Also working on stackable system for moving vehicle storage and dispensing system to allow better flow of cable being pulled from cassette. Suggestions welcome.
