Kite spooler

thingiverse

I built a kite spool for perfect and breezy days. I carefully assembled it, using 6 pieces of 20mm round aluminum standoffs to create the frame, purchased on eBay from this link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-M3-x-20mm-Round-Aluminum-Column-Alloy-Standoff-Spacer-Stud-Fastener-Black-/122323551702?hash=item1c7b0d45d6:g:gMIAAOSwrfVZOp2~. The standoffs provided the necessary stability for the spool. To secure everything in place, I used 12 machine screws with a length of 3x10mm, also purchased on eBay from this link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/M2-M2-5-M3-M4-High-Tensile-10-9-Socket-Button-Head-Screws-Black-Self-Colour-/222416302817?var=&hash=item33c90b72e1:m:mqElsHeigQIdBshgD58WFEQ. For the rod, I used a 10mm carbon fiber/glass fiber tube, purchased on eBay from this link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-Short-Length-Carbon-Fibre-Tube-10mm-x-8mm-x-200mm-T10-200-2-50-/152673446312?hash=item238c0be9a8:g:glgAAOxyiRlSa6xF. I didn't need to glue the handle, but I did apply some glue to the end piece for added security.
