The file 'Proteus Cable Roller 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 3.9MB.
Organizing your cables and removing those tangled messes
still a work in progress and has not been fully tested
Designed to be heavy duty enough to handle any cable you can fit on it. Expect long print times.

Nuts, Bolts, Bearings:
Glues: choose best option for you
Base Hardware:
I suggest that you use the "THINWALLED" files first. Unless you are printing this for a really heavy duty industrial cable the THINWALLED wheel sizes should be more than enough.
No support needed! - designed to print on any printer without support.
See images for the two Base types for printing
Use stronger material: PETG, ABS, NYLON, Other. I personally use PETG for everything these days.
If you want less print time you can try the -THINWALL versions of the main parts. Just find the same file name with -THINWALL at the end. The thin walled WheelCore is needed for the thin walled WheelWalls.
Open Center Design
Base Roller: two options
With Bearings:
Optional Handle:
Dual Strut Design
you can not use a handle for this design, it will hit the strut.
this is the easiest and shortest print time design
Let me know in the comments below what you think and if you have any ideas for these designs. There is much more that I could add but have kept it fairly simple to see how everyone uses the Cable Roller.
If you're like me and find this to be extremely useful then please share it and print some for friends/family/coworkers. Our lives get better the more people start using 3D Printers for everyday objects.
Enjoy!
