This is a customisable spool that I designed in OpenSCAD. You should be able to customise most aspects of the spool to fit your spooling needs.
Originally I designed a non-customisable spool to hold solder wire, but quickly figured out this would be a good opportunity to design a customisable part that I could use to organise/share other items in my workshop such as cables and thread.
The design splits it into two pieces so you don't need use supports. You can achieve a press/friction fit, but can also use glue. This dependent on the tolerances of your printer.
You can change the quality of the circle used for the outside flange to create a roll-resistant design like a hex/octagon.
**To-do list:**
- I will upload a diagram explaining all the parameters to help as a visual aid
- Change some wording with the customiser parameters
- Open up some parameters like spacing between the two parts
