Extension Cord Spooler

Extension Cord Spooler 🔌 Two empty filament spools and a handful of printed parts make a carry reel for an extension cord. The kit clamps the spools side by side, the cord wraps around both of them in one long loop, and a handle on top lets you pick the whole thing up. 🟩 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗦 𝗜𝗧 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 ▸ 𝗥𝗲𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 — Built around two empty 1 kg filament spools, the part of every roll that usually ends up in the trash. Spools not included. ▸ 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗽 𝗔𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 — The cord wraps around both spools at once, between the flanges, and the flanges hold the coil in place. ▸ 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 — A bar on the top plate spans both spools, so the whole reel lifts by one grip. ▸ 𝗔𝗹𝗹-𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 — Two printed screws, two knurled nuts and two bushings. No bolts to buy. ▸ 𝗡𝗼 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 — The knurled nuts tighten by hand. ▸ 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 — Modeled from scratch, printed and tested, not a remix. 🟩 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗢𝗟𝗦 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 ▸ The kit was sized from measurements of 1 kg spools from 16 brands: 195–205mm across, 58–70mm wide, with a 51.5–56mm center hole. Check yours against those numbers. ▸ The base and the handle plate are each 305mm long. They fit a 260mm bed laid corner to corner, which is how the 3MF has them. 🟩 𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗟𝗬 ▸ Push a printed screw up through each post of the base plate. ▸ Lower a spool over each post. ▸ Seat a bushing in the center hole on top of each spool. ▸ Lay the handle plate on top and spin a knurled nut onto each screw, hand tight.
