SMD Component Reel; 7"

thingiverse

I wasn't impressed with the available printable SMD component reels, so I decided to create my own. I will upload more sizes as I finish them, but this initial example is 8mm in size. It utilizes a standard 60mm hub and a standard 178mm (7") outer diameter. These components are specifically designed for Chinese PnP machines such as the CHMT 36 or CHMT 48, or similar models. It's likely that they will not work with more advanced machines that require industry-standard reels. To assemble these parts, simply print two of them and use super glue to attach them together. I have also uploaded an assembly jig to help align the pieces correctly. The entire printed component should be solid. I've used layer heights ranging from .2mm to .3mm, and all of them worked fine.
