Putting away the lights today and need a better way to store them. One spool uses one flap of a “1BF” size box from Amazon. Prints in 1:47 with .165 thickness 300/85 cut and 500/50 score.
The tabs might be a bit short, but I just glued them. I think it will last longer than trying to do a locking tab of some sort, but feel free to modify.
The preview has very thin lines, but the file is there just above.
Made some easy to use reels on a scroll saw many years ago (like picture below). Can counter grab the tips and use a winding motion to wind up and also unroll the lights. Very handy for those long runs outside…
Now I have to decide if I want to make more of these, or up my game and make a real reel.
