There are three versions, 60mm, 75mm and 90mm widths. 

The struts came from the Integrated Auto-Rewinder Spool Holder for Repbox. I've removed the logo and added magnets to the feet to keep them stationary. A big thank you goes to Printer-box for making everything in steel! The struts, axle and crossbeams should be printed in PETG with .20 layer height. See the notes on each file for infill settings. The integrated rewinders should be printed in PLA with .20 layer height.

Non Printable Parts

(4) M3x8 screws.

(2) 608 bearings.

(4) 8x3 round magnets, I just know someone is going to ask for a 8x4 version.

Please refer to VincentGroenhuis's model page for assembly instructions. He also has an scad file for custom sized rewinders.

As for the bearings being a bit loose, just use some bits of the initial purge line to act as a shim. Don't glue them in!

I am able to fit (5) 75mm or (4) 75mm + (1) 90mm inside the spool tank. The rewinders work on full or almost empty spools very well. I haven't used the rewinders for long, so as for the lifespan, time will tell.

 

Update: Printer-Box designed new stands for the rewinding spools, you can find it here.
