First fish on my 3/D printed reel.
I was surprised at how well the reel fished. No noticeable problems.
I didn't catch anything big enough to spin it backwards at a high rate of speed,but i would say the reel is ok.Good as any of the cheap reel on the market.
Here's a new one with some better hardware.
A little tighter and smoother

if you get lost in the dark, wave it in the air. rescue will be arriving soon after. interesting project.

Ball and spring clicker and drag knob on side of reel compresses
washers to increase or decrease tension.
And yes brane ,it's a little loud color wise,almost vulgar.
Thats the only filament he had at the time.
Pretty cool though, started with a roll of something that looks
like weedeater string and end up with a fly reel an hour later.

Looks like a whole new "cottage industry" is being birthed!

nice..
flycarpin is also developing some 3d reels, for carp, with robust drag systems..
