About this 3D model

This device is used to transfer filament from the 1lb bundle to a 1kg spare reel. The flexMendel 3D Printer uses the frame as the Z slide and couldn't mount this to the side posts, plus using filament on a reel is much less troublesome. I got tired of transferring these by hand and thought to make a jig that would allow a cordless drill to spin the filament onto a spare reel.
