Modified Axle for Dry-box Insert for Universal Auto-Rewind Spool Holder

thingiverse

This is an alternative axle that allows the Universal Auto-Rewinder (UAR) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3338467 to fit in the more common, cloudy 21-cup Rubbermaid container using this mount https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3867357. The original Rubbermaid box mount for the UAR linked above was designed for the perfectly clear Zylar container which has become very difficult to find in the US. I purchased some of the much more common cloudy containers and found that only one thing needed to be changed - making the axle 5mm longer. This is not just stretching the thing 5mm here are the adjustments made: * The end that snaps into the mount remains unchanged. * The groove that accepts the c-clip has been adjusted - it's now narrower with a smaller diameter so the new smaller clip fits much more securely and without as much play. This is important because there's very little width to spare within the box so making sure the rewinder stays in the correct location on the axle is crucial to prevent the spindle from rubbing the sides of the box. * The distance between the clip-in end and the c-clip end has been adjusted to perfectly match the width of the new rewinder. * The length of the axle has been adjusted to perfectly fit the width of the cloudy Rubbermaid 21-cup container. It's actually a 1mm press-fit (1mm too long on purpose) to make sure it cannot easily fall out of place.
