Finished printing it out, and it needs some work.

I reduced the size of the lever arm ratchet for this one, but the scaled ratchet doesn't perform nearly as well as the older version.  It's sticky.  The bending portion doesn't scale as it's based on the nozzle_dia, so it was too thick.

Making the cover tape spool deeper required splitting it into two parts as well, and they don't mate properly.

The return spring is a bit strong still, and I didn't make the throw long enough.

I also lost some of my tweaked dimensions such as the clutch and bearing interfaces in the process of realizing the fully parametric version. so they are too tight/too loose.

Working on it.
