About this model

I really like Paulmag's figure-8 line winder. It's amazing for deploying, retracting, and storing cordage without tangles or twists while out hiking. However, even at 120% scale, the largest I could possibly hope to print on my printer, it didn't hold much--50' of light utility cord maxed it out. As such, I chopped the design into two pieces with dovetails to allow it to be printed at a larger scale. I scaled it to 180% of the original length and width and 150% of the original thickness. At that size it holds 100' of heavy 7-strand paracord with room to spare.
