GuideSpooler Smart
Spooler measures and dispenses cable, keeps track of your stock and records the history of the measurements. You control it from an app for Android or Apple. You print most of the parts on a 3D printer; the rest are turned and laser-cut parts, threaded inserts and bought components such as screws and washers. You can print in ASA-CF or in material of the Spectrum brand. You can buy the electronics and the turned and laser-cut parts in the e-shop.
The spool has a guide of its own and is built separately.
You can buy the electronics (the assembled control board, the display and the sensor) ready-made in our e-shop, as well as the turned and laser-cut parts.

Threaded inserts
Most joints use plastic threaded inserts (M3, M4, M5, M6). Press them in before you screw the parts together, always into the part named in the drawing next to the insert. The numbers are given with each assembly below. The inserts are heat-set with a soldering iron with a flat tip: place the insert on the hole, press it slowly into the part with the heated tip until it is flush, and let it cool before you load the part.
Next you build the head, the rollers, the body and wire the electronics.
