Description

Fly-tying, several spool holders are essential. Many people who own a top-of-the-range model with a ceramic tube (around €30) are forced to cut the wire to change the spool. Inexpensive models (€5-10), manufactured in India or Asia, often exert excessive tension on the finest wires.

As I don't like to change spools during assembly, and prefer to have several spools loaded and ready to use, here at last is my 3D printable spool-holder model, featuring the following features following features:

- Standard size 

- Easy printing 

The disc provides a firm grip between thumb and forefinger, This is a classic structure but, in my opinion, far superior to cylindrical models; ;

The spring-loaded spool holder ensures uniform tension, neither too strong nor too weak, provided you use filaments resistant to relative bending.

The tube is designed for versatility: its diameter is ideal for mounting small flies, large flies, medium-sized nymphs and streamers.

The gthe wire in the tube is excellent and allows the use of a wide variety of wires or tinsel.

I mount small nymphs very easily with floss.

Loading the spool: this model loads like all the others, even when the wire is sucked in.

A word from M@t,
“My 3D models of fly-tying accessories are designed for FDM 3D printing.

They are designed to meet the specific needs of the most demanding fly fishermen...like me! I design, print and test them myself repeatedly in real fly-tying/fly-fishing conditions, until optimal results are achieved.”

Technical Tips for 3D Printing

Filling: 100 %

Filament: I again recommend PETG filament, which offers an excellent compromise between hardness and flexibility. The memory effect, although present with PETG, is much less significant than with PLA and its variants.

The printout must be oriented flat. Only the two balls touch the platen. A support is then needed to hold the reel support arms, the disc and the tube. Be careful not to place any support inside the tube, as it would be impossible to remove it.

You can achieve excellent results by adjusting the parameters of your favorite slicer.

Test and print as many as your box will hold!
