Ultimate DIY Wire Spool Hanger (with removable spools!)

This 3D printable wire spool hanger has a special trick: each spool can easily be removed when you need to take it with you.

Background:
I was searching for a way to hang my electrical wire spools at my electronics workbench. Unfortunately the most common solution was to hang them all off a single dowel.

This is fine if you never need to bring your wire to your projects, but I'm always grabbing a spool or two to work on something. Having to remove all my wire spools to get to the right one wouldn't work.

I came up with a simple solution to fix this. A 3d printed wire spool hanger that lets you remove each spool individually. Use it like any other wire dispenser at your bench OR easily grab a spool and take it with you to projects that don't easily fit on the bench (I've got a few!)

Parts you will need:
3D print as many hooks as you have wire spools plus one.
1.25" and 1.5" pan head wood screws for each hook.
1/2" dowel (cut to match spool size + 0.5")

Mount above your electronics workbench or wherever you need your wires most!
