This flexible organizer provides you to arrange your cables in one view.
There is a lot of parts to print, but if want to avoid searching and double purchase then you need something. This here might help you.
The center cylinders which are pressed into the assembled spool csn be taken out for mechanically load the cable on to the spool, e.g. by battery drill. Best practice is when the cable is dispensed from bottom!
When inserted to the system, the cylinders are functional as axles.
Insert the assembled systems (spool+carrier+cantilever) by sliding to the rear slope, then give the spring a little push to click the system in. Taking a system out by pressing the spring back (from front place) and carefully lift it out. It is kinda idiot-proof, so don't worry.
In this case the cantilever lifts the spool towards the top wall, hitting the geared rod, thus by turning the knob clockwise, the cable can be rewound, which makes the system very handy. No loose cables flying around.
I printed everything on my Prusa MK4. Box in PLA, gear parts in Prusament PETG (I think this is more durable than PLA, CArriers with their spring load to take them in and out in PETG, CAntilevers I did in PETG too, but PLA might work same. The spools and cylinders I made in PLA. The top plate provides some space for tags to identiy the AWG, size or other information.
This system is also a good chance to get rid of leftover filaments.
Enjoy the project and be happy with a well organized shopfloor, and Happy Printing!!
