Complete redraw of OG model in FreeCAD. Tried to make it compatible with OG model (at least 180 mm one)

OG model:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3174759
Compatible  small spool:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3861082

In general i was too lazy to go and remove every model from printer every 2 hours, and wanted it to be more sturdy, so i made this. Then i did discover smaller sized spools, so i decided to reshape the whole design into parametric one. 

Model supports adding different widths and thicknesses, but i have nothing to test it with yet, so you need to tell me what you need or tune the parameters it in FreeCAD yourself.

Model doesn't not have end covers and spool plugs yet - you can use ones from OG design (plugs are all the same, covers only fit 180 mm version) This project is work in progress, but i need to leave it for a while.  Please leave your feedback so i can improve it if possible.

76 mm version: In my case plastic tape was stuck in a channel. I had to push it with paper reel first, and then everything was fine. Will investigate later. Also as body is thinner, i reel plug needs to be scaled down in Z by 2 mm.

TODO:

  • Fix 76 mm version

  • Add spool pins

  • Add other sizes (please tell me which ones)

  • Test other components
