About the design

My Flashforge 5M Pro needed a better spool holder, so I designed this one specifically to handle the various filament spool widths, and spool types. The cardboard spools were dragging on the original spool holder and some of my spools are constructed of a continuous center tube.  I created this spool holder to allow anyone to use their own height of bearing-block insert in the spool arm.  The provided spool block holds 4 bearings which accommodates all widths of 1kg spools. 

Parts

  • 4 - 608ZZ roller bearings (7mm x 22mm)

Printing Instructions

  • 0.4mm nozzle
  • 4-6 walls
  • 0.22 layer height
  • PLA
  • 50% infill

 Print the bearing block laying down on the print bed. Use TREE supports as they will remove more easily.

The bearing block should easily slide into the filament arm.

 

*the pry-hole in the top of the bearing block is there to make it simple to remove the block from the spool holder body.
