Modular Hookup Wire Dispenser

Modular Hookup Wire Dispenser

Description

This part was designed as a better dispenser/holder for the 22AWG SparkFun hookup wire kits ([PRT-11375](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11375) & [PRT-11367](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11367)). When cutting wire from these boxes, the wire likes to slip back into the box so this dispenser contains long tubes that don't allow the wire to slip back onto the spool. The tubes were designed with 2mm ID for the 1.35mm solid core wire and 2.25mm ID for the 1.5mm stranded core wires. The fit of the wires may change depending on your print settings. This was printed using .25mm layer height. The dispenser is assembled using 1/4" x 1" dowel pins (available from many places). The pins are designed to stay in the top pieces and be removable from the lower pieces. Some super glue may help retain the pins if they are staying attached to the wrong half. Mounts to the wall using #10 screws (use drywall anchors!) The spacer can be glued to the to the bottom of a dispenser block and the dispenser blocks can be stacked as high as you want! Feel free to remix to change the tube size for different wire diameters.
