Description
This remix allows the organization of ~71mm Diameter wire spools of 16awg, 14awg and 12awg wire more easily. The original design was great, however it was more difficult/impossible to both feed wire of larger gauges through the wire feed holes and to fit 6+ spools side by side (and have all spools sit flush with the bottom properly). This design improves the original design's usability for larger spools by increasing the radius and depth of the rounded slot. The rounded slot is now 15mm deep on the z-axis and 60mm long front-to-back on the 2x4 version (with the same ~150mm side-to-side slot width). The larger 2x5 version is a more radical departure from the original design taking up more grid space in order to allow more width for more spools (original has a ~150mm width spool slot, the 2x5 has 194mm). The 2x5 version also has larger holes (and more abundant due to the increased width) to more easily feed wire through. Both versions also go the same route as the remix by greenbigfrog and use less magnet holes overall given that the weight of the wire when added alleviates the need to use all possible magnets to hold the model in place on a Gridfinity grid. Pairing this design with the original design, you can more easily organize wire of many different sizes. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Big thank you to KellyEgan and greenbigfrog for the design and inspiration respectively, as well as to Zack Freedman for the creation of Gridfinity. :) This file is a remix of the fantastic design by User KellyEgan . https://www.printables.com/@KellyEgan This file also borrows inspiration from a remix of the original design by User greenbigfrog . https://www.printables.com/@greenbigfrog_524522 This design is based off of Zack Freedman's Gridfinity System https://thangs.com/designer/ZackFreedman/3d-model/Gridfinity%20Divider%20Bins-60721
