Great build Doug. Those are some handy little roll holders. You really have a skill at coming up with great 3D printed object.

[mention:193ac2434c814a24b46635a2210baec1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] This is a neat idea but most of my wire is on larger spools. I have a dual solder dispenser with my Metcal soldering system as well as a probe/sponge. Most of what I do is Wire-Wrap, and I have lots of precut/stripped wire as well as a draw full of precut -no striped. Plus a lot of Wire-Wrap sockets. Just out of room!

Hi Doug,

This looks like it would make a good commercial product. I enjoyed how you came up with all the great flexibility and accessories.

Hey Dough, another ideas as simple as efficient. Like it!

(my problem is the constantly different kind of spools I use for wires).

Nice one. When I first saw it I thought the eyeball holes were going to be the stacking point like a large Lego cube. Then I thought you were going to build a robot!

For the youngsters: hands up all those who know what a telephone dialler is!

Looks like a feature set born of necessity or experience. The drop in wire cutter option was novel.

Very clever modular design. I personally like to be able to hold the spool of wire or solder in my hand - guess it's a habit.... My biggest problem is finding and storing the appropriate wire that I want to use (color, solid/stranded, AWG, insulation) so I probably need to find a good binning/storage solution.

I really need to get some hockey pucks [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-ffd3904b-de1e-4afa-8d78-feb02dd5824c/contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16]. They seem like the ideal mounting base for a lot of things. Looks like you are having a lot of fun printing....
