Cable spool stand

thingiverse

2016-12-23 I've added a "Base_mid.stl" for those who want more than 4 rolls. This part makes it easy to enlarge your stand by placing this part in the middle and then using rods that are 200mm long instead. Tip: Add some washers between the spools. That way they won't get stuck in each other when one is rotating. This idea came up when I ordered a set of four color 26AWG wires, 10 meters each, from an Ebay seller in China. I received the wires just as is without any spool or something to keep it nice and tidy (figures), so I went full on and designed a nice stand for it. I made it capable of holding four spools of 26AWG wires, but hit me up on the comments and I'll make it compatible with other specs too. The only hardware you need is three steel rods, 5x100mm each (just Ebay them for a small sum). As it might be a bit of a hassle to manually thread all the wires onto these spools, I made a tiny pin that you can hook up to a drill or a screwdriver (check the pictures) and simply let it spin while threading the wire. Just print the Threading_bit.stl and Threading_pin.stl and use an M3x16-20 to attach it to one of the spools.
