For details of how to build your own hookup wire dispenser, go to my website here: 2manytoyz.com/L...
I build a lot of electronic projects. A lot of times, the quality of the project is determined by the quality of the materials. The wire I purchased has silicone insulation, and is 100% copper conductor. Some now are copper coated aluminum, fairly common on eBay. Absolute junk, avoid it!
While the wire I bought is great, the dispensing box is mediocre. There are no dividers between spools, so the wire tends to tangle inside the box. Bro, stay in your lane!
I found a 3D printed dispenser box on ThingiVerse, but it was flimsy, undersized, and made reloading the spools a pain. The overall design was good, so I used it as a starting point to design my own.
To load wire onto the spools, place the end of the wire in the hole in the spool body, and slowly run the drill. Much faster than loading it manually, and the wire isn't twisted in the process.
