I bought some cheap hook-up wire off Amazon a while ago, but ran out of red & black. I didn't want to buy the whole set again, and I couldn't find the same reel size locally to fit in the reel holders that I already had printed and mounted on my workbench, so I did what any maker would do - I bought the large reel of wire to wind on my existing empty reel. I had no intention of winding it by hand, and I couldn't find what I was after (I didn't look exceptionally hard). 

I used a 8M threaded rod as the ‘axle’, as that's what I had on hand. The tapered shape of the nut/bolt should support reels with an inner-diameter of 10mm - 50mm.

I've included the Autodesk Fusion file if anyone would like to make changed, most values are parameterised, so changes SHOULD be relatively simple. I'm pretty new to Fusion, though, so please be nice if I've done anything weird.
