Wall Mount Spool Holder
Description
I Couldn'T Find A Spool Holder That Fit My Requirements On Thingiverse So I Designed My Own With Bearings. I Used Standard Skate Bearings With A Id Of 8Mm And Od Of 22Mm (I Froze The Bearings To Help Insert Them In The Shaft.) This Design Supports My 1Kg And 500G Rolls. I Downloaded An M8 Nut Off Of Thingiverse Although I Don'T Think It Is Necessary For Me But You May Need To. I Used Some Wood Screws To Fix It To The Side Of My Desk Just Below My Extruder Motor. I Designed It Using Bearings Just To Be Overkill So There Is Next To No Resistance On The Motor Although It Is A Bit Unnecessary I Originally Planned On Using 3 Bearings Like In The Assembly Drawing However I Ended Up Only Using 2 And It Works Fine. Stl'S And Solidworks Files Are Available For Download. I May End Up Modifying It In The Future. Things I Would Probably Change: - Add A Small Chamfer To The Shaft To Help Get It Off The Build Plate - Change The Shaft Design A Little So That The Bearings Can Be Put On From Both Sides Rather Than Pushed All The Way Down Inside.
