Filament Spool Holder
Description
Got Fed Up With Builds For Filaments Spools. So, Made My Version. It'S A "One Fits All" Whatever Your Configuration, This One Will Be Usable. It'S Simple To Make; Adaptable To Any Filament Spool Size; Uses Bearings For Smooth Rolling. Parts Needed: Aluminium 8Mm Rod (Cheap, Easy To Cut); Rope + 4X 3Mm Screws (Or You Could Use 3Dp Filament, Slide It In The Slots And Heat+Press The Ends); Electric Tape (It Stretches + The Glue Lasts A Long Time); And 4X 608Zz Bearings The Rope Goes In The Slot Between The Elements To Prevent Them From Sliding Apart. Bonus: Anything That Stops The Entire Build From Sliding (When You Arrive At The End Of The Roll; You'Ll Need More Friction) : Soft Pvc Sheet; Rubber Band (These Tend To Dry And Break With Time); Caouchouc (Rubber From And Old Bike Tire); Etc. Notes: - Put The Tape On The Rods After Inserting The Bearings. Stretch While Applying The Tape, And Make More Than One Turn So That The Tape Grips On Itself. The Purpose Of The Tape Is To Prevent The Rod From Sliding Out Of Position By Adding Just Enough Diameter So That It Exceeds The Diameter Of The Bearing. Works Great On A Smooth Rod Or Tube Of Exact 8Mm Size. Not Sure If It Does On A Threaded Rod. Aluminium Rod Makes It Easy To Work Things Out. - The Bearing Slot Is Intentionally Made As A Tight Fit (In The 3D Model, The Diameter Is 22.25Mm But With Printing Variations, You'Ll Probably Get A 22Mm; If You Dont Get A Tight Fit, Reduce The Scale Of The Model To 95%). To Insert The Bearing, Gently Hammer The Bearing In The Slot. Gently = Rubber Hammer; Or Use A Soft And Flat Material To Buffer The Impacts, A Piece Of Wood For Example)
