Description
I created this small solder wick spool as part of my storage solution for my TS101 soldering iron kit which can be found here: Storing solution for TS101, TS100 soldering iron & addtional tools
But I think it could be useful to people even on its own.
I designed it in a rectangular shape so it's more space efficient and so it doesn't roll away. It snaps together and features narrow slots in the rim to secure the wick in place.
Print in 0.2mm layer height and preferably in PETG (although PLA can also work if it doesn't break during assembly). The tolerances for this design are quite tight (0.05mm) so it doesn't feel loose once it snaps together. If you have trouble fitting the parts into each other consider lowering your filament flow rate.
