About this model

This is a remix from aprotim. I changed the size to fit my measuring tape and I also made the handle wider to accommodate 2 fingers, allowing for an easier wind up. This video was taken just after taking it off the printer bed. It can be sanded to move more smoothly, but it functions perfectly as is.
