THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS

EDIT: Printed on 6/1.. All is good. Might beef up a few parts but it will work just fine for now. This is a collaborative project and once a few rod builders use this to build rods, I will be collecting feedback and suggestions to make this project more advanced.
Use 1/4" rod for carriage, and 1/8" threaded rod with springs for the spools. Designed to use #19 single strand wire for tension bars but you can use wire coat hanger and bend circle loops on the ends.
-"Thread Spool Holder" is the complete file for the all parts of the carriage and spool holder
-"Board Ends" are optional feet ends for 90mm X 20mm boards (3/4" x 3.5" ID)
-"Thread Spool Tension Washers" are just the spool caps in case you need extra
Open source non-commercial use so please feel free to improve on this design.
