### Intro
This is a modular sewing spool holder system that uses tileable snap-together bases and snap-in pegs.

### Calibration (Optional)
* Print the shorter peg and the snap-in calibration base to make sure your printer is dialed in. The peg should snap into the base with a solid click, and be difficult (but not impossible) to remove.

* The 4x4 grid supports spools from 19 to 27mm in diameter and requires 16 pegs.

* The 66.5mm pegs should be just long enough to hold a standard height spool and its bobbin. However, if you put this in a drawer, you'll find that every time you close the drawer with…
