#Gridfinity Wire Spool Holder

This item is for use with the #GridFinity system by Zach Freedman:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra_9zU-mnl8

This is a 4 unit wide by 1 unit deep by 1/4 unit high hook up wire spool holder. This is compatible with common wire hookup kits such as: https://www.amazon.ca/CBAZYTM-Stranded-Gauge-Colors-Electrical/dp/B075M8DGYX/

It will work with most common spool sizes, and uses a 6mm rod (as supplied with most kits). There are 6 threading holes at the front.

UPDATE

I added the source file as per request, but it isn't parametric so heads up.

I removed the raised front panel as it was pushing the spools back too far, the holes are in the gridfinity body now.

Contrary to Zach's instructions, I've been printing all my modules with a 0.8 nozzle, which seems to work just fine. This was printed with Black eSun PLA PLA at 75mm speed on an ender 3 pro with 0.8 nozzle and 0.32 layer height without support.

Great holder. I didn't have a rod so I just modeled one and printed it in PETG

Sorry I've been away for many months due to surgery. Seems to download fine for me. Maybe it was a Thangs Thang?

Thanks for this! Using some full spools of silicone wrapped wire, I was having major problems with the spools unravelling and getting tangled up around the rod and other spools. I ended up just taking the rod out and having them sit on the bottom of the holder. That's working a lot better for me.

Thank you so much!

I can definitely use this one. Thank you for making it! Can you please share the source file though?

Sadly the source file isn't parametric but I will add it to the archive.

Thank you! Not being parametric is fine by me. I'll recreate it in FreeCAD anyway, as that's what I use. The URL for the parametric source file leads to the wrong file though (Zack's divider boxes) and there is no f3d file in the archive either.

P.S. Can you please specify what the license is? The original Gridfinity is MIT license so I presume this one is as well?

Nice work! Looks like the distance between the two ends is about 130mm, so dividing that by the width of your spools tells you how many you can fit on here.

For me it means I can only fit three of my 39mm wide Adafruit spools. But they came as a set of six so I can easily just print two of these and have them next to each other. Also it looks like Adafruit's newer products have much thinner spools anyway now.

Thanks again!

I ended up adding a dab of hot glue on top of the rod too, if the wire snags the spool next to it the rod can jump sometimes, but it only happens when the spools are really full and the wire slips off.
