This 3D printable kit converts empty filament reels into practical storage spools for organising cables, wires, rope, ribbon, and craft materials. Instead of discarding used filament spools, the included components allow them to be repurposed into functional winding reels suitable for workshops, garages, and hobby spaces.

The design provides a simple mechanical system that attaches to common filament reels, enabling controlled winding and storage of flexible materials.
