Description

UPDATE 3/16/2024: New update to the eyelet.

This is a remix of the Altoids tin pan fishing kit: https://www.printables.com/model/136595-altoids-tin-panfishing-kit. I  loved the idea but wanted to change a few things. First, I went ahead and made the bolt and handle one piece—no more gluing. Also, I changed the spool top and made it without writing, and I completely redesigned the eyelets. The handle is also longer, and I would print upright with a brim. The bolt now has a slot for easier assembly and disassembly.

While it is designed for zip ties, you can now attach parts via paracord or nylon strands.  I printed in PETG since this is intended for outdoor use.  Tolerances on this are pretty tight; try setting xy compensation to -0.05 or more in the slicer if the bearing won't turn after printing.

Don't forget to post those makes!
