POTA Performer Radial Reels
Print Profile(1)
Description
Update: the STL file was missing the handle for the winder. The file has been updated to include it.
Update 2: the 40m winder did not have both sides. This has been corrected. (Error happened when adding all the STL's into a single print profile.
Here are two different size radial winders for the POTA Performer.
The smaller one is for dedicated 40m radials. The larger one is for the standard 6-20m radials. They have sufficient space to have the wire labels I have as another model.
I've printed in both PLA and PETG. I used “extra draft” because I didn't care about appearance. When printing, print the washer and knob with a brim.
While the parts are all a “snug fit”, I recommend a couple small dots of super-glue to hold the reel and inside handle together. It also uses a 4mm bolt to attach the handle to the reel. FreeCAD doesn't do a great job with the size of the hole, it is easiest if you use a 4mm die to clean it out first.
The design features a hole for a wire with a female spade connected for allow attaching the wire before spooling it.
