prusaprinters

<p>Simple Skadis holder for six small hookup wire spools, like the ones included in Adafruit's basic <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/1311">Hook-up Wire Spool Set</a>.</p><p>This model requires M2.5 heat-set inserts, M2.5 screws, and printed hooks for mounting and an additional 4x M2.5 heat-set inserts and M2.5 screws for securing the top plate.</p><h3>Required Parts</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/284350/">Printed hooks</a><ul><li>See linked project for more details</li></ul></li><li>M2.5 heat-set inserts (x2 or x4 for mounting, x4 for assembly)<ul><li>CNC Kitchen “M2.5 Standard” (ø 4.6mm, depth 4.0mm)<ul><li><a href="https://www.prusa3d.com/product/threaded-inserts-m2-5-standard-100-pcs/">Prusa Eshop</a> ($11.99, 100 pcs)&nbsp;</li><li><a href="https://cnckitchen.store/products/gewindeeinsatz-threaded-insert-m2-5-standard-100-stk-pcs">CNC Kitchen Store</a> (€9.99, 100 pcs)</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>M2.5 8mm screws (x2 or x4 for mounting)<ul><li>McMaster Carr <a href="https://www.mcmaster.com/92000A105">92000A105 </a>(8mm, $4.74, 100 pcs)</li></ul></li><li>M2.5 6mm screws (x4 for assembly)<ul><li>McMaster Carr <a href="https://www.mcmaster.com/92000A104">92000A104</a> (6mm, $4.69, 100 pcs)</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Assembly Notes</h3><p>Once printed, just cut the “spool rod” (usually a length of plastic tubing) to length to fit snugly into the printed box then drop it in with the spools on it. Pretty simple! :)</p><p>The top plate is optional but helps to keep the spools in place while dispensing wire. I found that printing and assembling it was worth the time but I had a bunch of extra M2.5 screws on hand, so YMMV. :)&nbsp;</p><h3>Printing Notes</h3><p>For printing any heat-set insert project on a FFF/FDM printer its a good idea to use 4+ perimeters to make sure that there's enough surface for the inserts to bite into.</p><p>My test and final prints were done on a stock Prusa MINI+ with Prusament PETG. PLA and other materials should work fine though.</p>
