Spool Holder

A stand for small spools of wire or solder. The stand is easily assembled with commonly available parts and several 3D printed components.

Required Materials

• 3x equal length sections of 10mm diameter metal tube.
• 4x M3 threaded inserts, with an additional insert for each spool.
• 4x M3 screws, with an additional screw for each spool.
• 2x frame.stl.
• 2x end-cap.stl.
• 4x end-cap-screw.stl.
• 1x wire-guide.stl for each spool.

Construction

1. Print the required parts.
2. Insert the threaded inserts into end-cap-screw.stl and wire-guide.stl using a soldering iron or similar heat source.
3. Glue end-cap.stl into the ends of one of the metal tubes.
4. Glue end-cap-screw.stl into the ends of the other two metal tubes. These will be the bottom tubes.
5. Insert all wire-guide.stl on one of the bottom tubes and secure with screws.
6. Attach both bottom tubes to frame.stl with screws.
7. Place spools on the other tube and thread wire through wire-guide.stl.
