Cable Dispenser "S" Size

Make:

Cantilever is arranged to the carrier, insert the rest of a PETG filament as axle and heat the ends up with some adquate iron or so. Best results are when the axle ends flush on both sides. The more flush the better for later. I ues PETG for Carrier and Cantilever. Especially carriers need some spring function, therefore, I selected PETG.

You print Spool A and B, snap it together. Wind up your cable carefully layer beneath layer. You may use a cordless drill with a longer M8 screw with nut to clamp the spool. Then take the screw out and insert the pin until it is in the middle. I used PLA for the spools.

Put the roll into the axle holders (U-shape cantilever, insert the cable from below through the hole. All done.

Print the box and pay some attention for best fit. Maybe you'll need some sandpaper or file to make it perfect. Mine didn't come out perfect. I used PLA for the box.

After you have everything assembled, you can mark the cantilevers handle with a selfsticky tab. I indicated "AWG22" etc. So I know what cable has what size. 

You can easily snap the individual dispensers in, and you can easily snap them out. Hereto push the front part of the carrier back and lift the dispenser up. With that said you can sort the dispensers easily to your best need. 

Usage:

You can pull required amount of cable, sometimes a little helping finger on the dispenser makes it easy, after finished, you can pust the lever of the cantilever, which lifts the roll towards the gear, then turning the knob clockwise (if it is mounted to the right) engages the roll with same gear geometry and retratcts the cable back onto the roll. That is the magic!

Have fun with this solution, happy printing!
