A 3D-printable system of small, configurable reels that store and dispense SMD components for hobbyists and small-scale production.
01
A small parts library
I designed Micro Reel as a system of small, configurable reels that you can 3D print, made for hobbyists and small-scale production. Each reel holds one kind of SMD part on its tape, keeping it stored until it is time to build a board and then dispensing it straight from the tape.
Every reel is its own module, labeled with its part name and a QR code on the side face, so a row of them on the bench works like a little parts library.
