My custom spool holder. It fits for all common spools. Due to the standard bearing (like for a skateboard), the filament can unwind with low friction.
Instructions:
Printed parts and the following are needed:
- 1x M8 screw, 10 cm length
- 1x M8 nut (nylon)
- 2x M4 screws for mounting (diameter 4 mm)
- 2x standard bearings (outer diameter 22 mm, inner 8 mm, 7 mm thick)
Assembly:
- Insert the M8 screw in the holder. Maybe you need to slightly hammer on the screw head.
- Place one bearing in the tube and then the long spacer. Insert the second bearing. Make sure the spacer aligns with the hole in the bearing.
- Mount the base. Put the tube on the long screw. Add the outer spacer. Screw the nut on it. Make sure it is not too tight.
- Add a spool and secure it the the printed nut After a few time it will screw/unscrew with less friction.
Print instructions
I printed it with PLA, 0.1 mm layer height and 30% infill. Supports only for the screw insert in the base and one side of the tube.
