Low-friction Filament Reel Mount for Makerbot
Description
I Had A Problem With Prints Stopping In The Middle Of A Print. I Read Online That Some People Were Able To Solve This With A Low-Friction Mounting Method For The Filament. Looking Through The Other Things In Thingiverse, I Got The Idea To Use Airsoft Bb'S As The Balls In The Bearing. These Are Low-Cost, Smooth, And I Already Have Them By The Thousands. I Simply Made The Bearing Mountable To The Makerbot. I Consider This Design Complete, Although There Probably Could Be Improvements. Pictures Shown Are Of The First Iteration. I Slightly Revised The Files For Better Bearing Retention And Use Of Space, But The First Revision Works Well, So I'M Not Re-Printing.
