# Wire Dispenser

A simple box for holding equipment wire, with center dowel to allow dispensing

through front slots. Since the design uses OpenSCAD, the code is designed to

be configurable to any size/number of reels one requires. 

# Usage

Set the variables at the top of the code to your reel diamensions and number

required. The _baseSlots_ and _sideSlots_ require a bit of tinkering until it

looks right - probably a better way to do that.

By default, the code is to make a 6 reel holder of this 24AWG AlphaWire:

# Assembly

To view everything slotted together, leave `export=false` - this arranges the

3d parts.

# DXF Export

Once your happy, to create a .dxf for sending to a cutter, set `export=true`.

It uses `projection()` to get the 2d sections of each piece and arranges them

on a flat area.
