+// Each spool is a hub with 3 or 4 arms. Each arm has a cup for
+// holding the filament. The effective diameter can be adjusted by
+// setting the cup into a different seat in the arm. The cups are
+// held on with simple clips, so the filement coil can easily be
+// removed and replaced.
+//
+// This file (and its includes) can generate:
+//
+// - Heavy duty 4-armed spool suitable for holding a 100m
+// Faberdashery coil on the spool arm of a Lulzbot TAZ-5.
+//
+// Set
+// fdia=2.85
+// lightduty=false
+// And print following parts
+// Hub
+// ArmEnd x 4
+// FilamentCup x 4 (or FilamentCupPair x 2)
+// CupSecuringClip x 4
+//
+// You will also need 4 x M4 machine screws and nuts.
+//
+// - Light duty 3-armed spool suitable for up to around 30m
+// of Faberdashery 2.85mm PLA.
+//
+// Set
+// fdia=2.85
+// lightduty=true
+// And print following parts
+// Hub
+// ArmEnd x 3
+// FilamentCup x 3 (or FilamentCup + FilamentCupPair)
+// CupSecuringClip x 3
+// TowerDoveClipPin x 6
+//
+// When assembling, insert one TowerDoveClipPin from each side,
+// joining each ArmEnd to the Hub with two TowerDoveClipPins.
+// Modest force with pliers is good to seat them properly.
+//
+// (note that the light duty and heavy duty CupSecuringClips
+// are slightly different)
+//
+// When mounting either spool on the TAZ-5 spool arm, put the `pointy'
+// end of the hub towards the printer - ie, put put the spool on
+// `backwards'. This ensures that the spool's arms will clear the
+// printer framework.
+//
+// For the above, I generally used the Cura `Standard' PLA profile.
+//
+// - Storage arm suitable for screwing to walls, bookshelves,
+// etc. (requires non-countersunk M4 screws); will hold two
+// heavy duty spools each with a 100m coil.
+//
+// Set
+// fdia=2.85
+// lightduty=false
+// And print one of these, according to taste
+// StorageArmLeft
+// StorageArmRight
+//
+// NB that the `light duty' version of this is shorter and
+// will only take two `light duty' spools.
+//
+// For the above, I used the Cura `High detail' PLA profile because
+// I wanted it pretty, but the `Standard' profile should do fine.
+//
+// - Spool (in many parts) for handing 1.75mm filament, printable
+// on, and with parts for mounting on, a Reprappro Huxley.
