Summary

"AutoCut 2-2" wire spool cover for the Stihl FA 56 trimmer. Saved my gardens day while waiting for a complete wire-spool set.

The version without spring openings for the clips is a bit fragile if printed in brittle PETG. Because the print direction is perpendicular to the 'spring' function of the clips, they are rather weak. I added some gaps and printed my last model with the more resilient PLA instead of PETG.

UPDATE 28th aug. 2022: I have reinforced the ring at the bottom so that it does not wear out so quickly when it wears off from the outside.

UPDATE 23th may 2023: Brittle PETG clips will eventually break, so I made the slits longer and deeper into the bottom plate.

UPDATE 24th aug 2023: Hole in the middle slightly wider and stops shortened for better unspooling. By lengthening and adding slits to the clips, their resilience is improved.
