SMD Reels for various tape widths

thingiverse

Hello, these are reels for a pick and place machine. I recently purchased a PNP and had an abundance of SMD/SMT parts lying around that were not on reels. I've tested them on the following printers: Replicator 2, Replicator 2X, Makergear M2, FlashForge Creator Pro. The parts are labeled by internal dimension, i.e., the distance between reel halves. So, pick the reel matching your SMD tape width. Print out two of these parts and screw them together using #2 screws. Sheet metal screws like these work perfectly: https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=9862. Check them in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyzlKQu38zA
