Filament Spool Holder
Description
This is a spool holder that I created for my Creality Ender 3. I saw many nice designs on Thingiverse, but I did not see exactly what I was wanting. I was looking for something that met the following criteria: - Rolls smoothly - Could be rotated to any angle for mounting - Uses standard 608 bearings (8mmx22mmx7mm) such as are used on a skateboard - Allowed the original bayonet style "nut" to be reused in mounting What I came up with may look similar to some of the other spool holders, but met my specific requirements. Use the bearings and screws I had on hand, it was easy to use, and it rolls quite easily. To make this spool holder, you will need the following: - Filament Spool Holder Mount (1) - Filament Spool Holder (2) - 608 Bearings (2) - M4x16 Hex Socket Button Head Cap Screw (2) When assembling, the bearings are an intentionally tight fit on the spool holder. I used a small block of wood and a hammer to tap them on. The spool holder can be rotated on the metal bracket as needed, allowing the bracket to be mounted on the top of the printer, on the side (as shown here), or at an angle from the base of the printer. This was designed for use with full-size spools that have a 50mm-55mm diameter center spool opening (such as Hatchbox or similar).
