Spool Drawer Stack (Base)

I looked around for a decent base for a stack of Spool Drawer's and wasn't a fan of what was out there. My first crack at designing my own was way too flimsy and it quickly became a leaning tower. This new version is much more stable and keeps the stack upright.

Parts Required:
- 1x M8 Threaded Rod
- 2x M8 Nuts (base)
- 1x M8 Nut (cap)
- Printed Spool Centre's (to suit 8mm rod)
