... the rubber cord spool is also available here without FiBo branding: Small Spool for 1mm Rubber Cord by Piddey - MakerWorld

Additional sizes available:

In the “Downlaod STL” section, there are boxes available for multiple sizes. The size informatio in mm represents the spool thickness.

Let me know if you have any issues.

Notes: 

Supports are required for:

• the *Ball Bearing Pins" in base and lid
• the pipe shelf, if printed lying (what is suggested for strength)
• Depending on your printer's 'bridging skills' you should also add some supports to the Filament sample slot on front of the lid.

The Pipe Shelf Mounts should be printed stronger!

I used the following settings:

• Layer: 0,2mm
• Perimeters: 3
• Top/Bottom Layers: 6
• Infill: 50%
• Filament: PETG/PLA

Rubber Cord Spool and Assembly Station do not require any supports.
