Thing-O-Matic Reel and Filament Control System Free 3D print model

Here is a very simple system with numerous benefits: The entire assembly can be put together without glue; parts simply snap or push into place. Two eight-inch reels can hang from the side, back, or all three sides at once - that's six reels for color enthusiasts! The Reel Arms are designed to hold the filament securely, preventing spills, and when the filament does get off the reel, it stays trapped inside until reloaded. The Filament Guide Arm can be adjusted to face inwards or outwards from the frame, while its tip swivels freely on top of it. I personally recommend positioning the guide as shown for an effortless, smooth flow of filament, completely free from friction. The reel and rod operate with minimal effort and maximum ease. All components clip onto the frame using a clever system that eliminates the need for fasteners. Assembly and disassembly occur rapidly, in mere seconds; storage space required is negligible. The whole set also includes a convenient Filament Clip that securely holds an idle filament against the reel.
