Added 12mm and 16mm Wide
Did some more printing and it works pretty good in practice. I updated the design a little bit and added a 12mm and 16mm wide option for larger, but still common components

Forgot CAD Screenshots
This ones on me. Forgot to show some CAD screenshots. So I am putting them here and now I need to talk more. I will also add some CAD pictures to the Github.

Final Version 8 and Large Version
Focused on solving the biggest problems with the previous version. Adding a large option for reels over 250 items really helped with the binding option. I also optimized both of the inner circles to make it easier to load and less likely to jump out or snag.
I'm going to make the github and then ship.

Versions 1-6
Ive got a lot of smd tape reels and no good way to store them. I want to design a small 3D printed magazine enclosure to both store and use parts.
I made 6 design revisions today. the final one works pretty good, but Im noticing that with longer reels (400+ LEDS) it gets very tight and hard to wind. Im wondering if I need to make it bigger or add a dial mechanism in the middle, hopefully not though.
