Works great for the random loose wire I had

When I took off the printer I thought they might be too flimsy, but they work just fine. Thanks for sharing.

These are 25 meters of 0.5mm2 (22awg) wire, green is 100% scale print, just barely fit, and couldn't use the holes on the side, also feels fragile.
For the black wire I scaled it up to 50mm diameter (about 115% scale), now fits perfectly and can use the side holes.

Edit: They work very well, made some more. Made a big one scaled to 100 mm diameter. The picture has 5 meters of 2x4mm audio wire for reference. (edited)

Proportions are really fragile, be it at 1x, 115% or 130%. Have printed four of them so far and they break really easily.

Cute little wire spools that helped me organize some 0.5mm solid core wire!

The model is smaller than I anticipated, but is easily sizeable in the slicer. Does what I need.

Good model - simple and easy to print. Walls feel a bit too thin, but it works and serves its purpose. Printed with PLA, layer height set to 0.1 mm.

worked exactly as I needed, the fit was good, tight enough to stay together but not so tight that I feel I'm gonna break it.

Hole is a bit too small for me but its nice otherwise

Excellent idea. Really very useful and practical. Well done !!!
