Instructions
Cut M8 rod into the following lengths:
3 @ 160mm
4 @ 220mm
Cut 4" ABS to 75mm
Cut 3/4" PVC to 65mm
Print required qty of all printed parts (optional to cut the Spool-side-wood.stl from wood, 22.5mm x 125mm x 6mm thick, and drill a hole)
Assemble as shown in pictures (in detail picture you will notice a stack of washers between spool vertex and bearing, these should not be needed as the file has been updated, but add as required). For the 1/2" PVC pipe I used a hot glue gun to attach it to the inside of one of the spool sides. Optionally print standard or footed vertexes for the bottom and and don't print y-bar clamps. Then assemble as normal.
To use simply remove the center rod for spool, lift out, remove one side, place roll on spool, reassemble and enjoy...
