Hello guys! I came across this YouTube video and notice new wheel building tool, which I've never seen before. I checked the Google and it seems that there's no 3d models available to download. Do you have a clue what to do or where I can find one, so I (or other mechanics) could 3d print it? Also, I'm not good at making 3d models, so I came here for help

If the tool is just a bladed spoke holder then it would be pretty easy to design and print
I saw the same video and was intrigued so I modeled and printed the tool, but tbh it doesn’t really do anything useful. As far as I can see it just replaces grasping parallel spokes for strain relief. Nice for your hands if you are building wheels all day, but not a necessity for most mechanics. If you really want it though, DM me and I’ll send you the file.

That’s no substitute for standing on the spokes.
