Integrated Auto-Rewinder Spool Holder for Repbox

This a remix of VincentGroenhuis's Integrated Auto Rewinder, sized to fit jterranella's RepRewind stand so five of them can fit inside the RepBox 2.

The scad is the work of VincentGroenhuis, I merely changed the dimensions to fit the RepRewind stand.

Even though jterranella says you can fit five 75mm spool stands in there, I had trouble getting all of them in. I think perhaps the fact I printed the body of my stands with a textured sheet made it just a bit too thick. So I resized it down by 2 mm to fit 73mm fit spools. The stands now fit perfectly, and 70mm is big enough to hold Atomic Filament and Prusament, which are my main go-to brands, so it's big enough for me.

If you like this, please go and like VincentGroenhuis's and jterranella's things instead, as they did most of the work. My work was just a lot of trial and error to get the right dimensions to make them work together. :)

Now updated to work with version 5.6 of Vincent's design! It's easier to assemble now, has the springs going in the same direction to reduce spring deformities, and has arrows on the end caps to show which way to wind the spools.

Notes:

The springs really like to pop off the sheet and wrap around the extruder. Heating the bed to 65 degrees C instead of 60 helped keep it on the sheet.
