Filament Spool Hand Reel

I really appreciate you if you can consider a coffee for me if you like the design!

I have many empty plastic filament spools. I wanted to use these empty spools for organizing cables such as quarter inch/guitar cables, XLR cables, and many more.

Parts

• Inland Old Center Main.stl
  • Compatible with Micro Center Inland old filament spool.
• Inland Old Center Attachment.stl
  • Compatible with Micro Center Inland old filament spool.
• Handle M4 x 35mm.stl
  • File updated on Jan 28, 2024 1:34PM US Eastern with better center diameter and 0.3mm spaces between the rod and the outer handle.
  • Use M4 x 35mm Hex Socket Head Cap Screws
  • Insert M4 nut during print for higher stability

Required Parts

• M4 nut (2)
• M4 x 35mm (1)

Print

• If you want to include M4 nut inside the handle, pause at 6.6mm height, insert one M4 nut, then continue printing.
• I used PETG but any preferred filament should work.

Gcode

• Inland Handle Pause at 6.6mm_0.2mm_PETG_MK3S_1h31m.gcode
  • This gcode pauses at 6.6mm height for M4 nut insertion during printing. DO NOT USE THIS GCODE and create yours if you print handle without M4 nut inside.
• Inland Old Center Main Attachment_0.3mm_PETG_MK3S_1h21m.gcode
  • This gcode has multi-height printing 0.3mm and 0.2mm. If you like single height printing, make yours with either 0.1mm or 0.2mm layer height.

Assemble

1. Slide Inland Old Inner Main in the inner filament spool.
2. Put Inland Old Inner Attachment from the other side to lock the inner piece.
3. Insert M4 x 35mm hex socket head cap screw in the Handle M4 x 35mm then screw if you have M4 nut inside the handle.
4. Tight handle through one of the hole in the spool with M4 nut from the inner side.

Note

• M4 nut inside the handle is optional, if you tighten the handle into the spool.
• You can leave the handle unattached and insert temporarily when you reel. M4 nut inside the handle is mandatory in this use case.
