Clip-In cable/wire spool

Very handy to keep a few meters of different small diameter wire types at hand. Great for prototyping and such. It is not meant to handle/take bigger diameter wires. I use them for the small stuff like 0.2mm enamelled copper wire and 0.6mm litz wire.

It does hold about 5 to 6m of the Ø0.6mm wire and >10m of 0.2mm copper wire.

• Print time is 1h30m for a set of three
• friction can be maximised by putting a rubber band over both hooks
• two holes of Ø3.5mm, 20mm apart for mounting
• can be stacked by putting a M3 all thread through the holes. You may want to add one or two washers between individual spool holders then

Spools clip in easily and snap in place:

Cable can be pulled easily, friction always adjusts because of the outer “snap rings”:

Is this thing useful to you?

Don't hesitate to hit the ❤ and show some love. I'm always happy to hear from you in the 🗩 comment section. If you have problems printing my files: tell me in the comment section too!

Provided files

I do like to have real CAD-files, when downloading things from others. Most users don't provide files other than .STL-files. These are useless for further manipulation or quick changes. So I'll provide the following files to you:

Is it easy to build/assemble?

Yes, just print both parts and clip them together.

What do I need other than the printed parts?

• small piece of tape to fixate the start of the wire to the spool

Is this thing finished?

YES
