Split Reels

This script generates 3D-printable, threaded split reels for 16mm and 8mm film. This is a parametric model, so download the source code and generate split reels of any capacity for either 16mm or 8mm gauge film.

The design is roughly-compatible with the aluminum reels, but threading plastic onto metal or vice versa may break the printed parts.

The downloadable models are 120m/400ft reels for 16mm and 8mm film and are designed to hold standard film cores.

To use this script download the source files and create a new file in the directory in OpenSCAD.

use <scad/split_reel.scad>;

split_reel("8mm", 240, "A");

This will generate the threaded side of a split reel for 8mm gauge film for 240m or 800ft of film.
