3D model description

Something to help tame that ever growing pile of cables.

Pros and Cons below. For me, the pros out-weigh the cons and this has definitely been something fun to work on. :-D

The Pros:
Cables can be stored with their ends inside or outside.

You can see inside.
Winds.
Stacks. (Indents for 6x3mm magnets included for added stability but also OK without magnets.)
Small, fast print that turns leftover filament into something handy.

The Cons:
Only stacks vertically. (working on that)
Have to remove the cable you are winding from the stack. (don't really have any good ideas for isolating the stacked winders yet...)

The main box is a 6cm square that is 3cm high.

3D printing settings

Box - Support is needed at the bottom where there are cut outs. But the holes in the sides should be printable without supports.

Bottom - Support is needed at the bottom. The hole for the cable should be printable without supports.

**Lids" - There are two versions of the lid. One that is flat for stacking and one that has an X on top for a better grip when winding. For the flat one, there are holes that you can stick your fingers in to for grip. Both lids should be printable without supports. The printer just needs to do a little bridging.
