Description
This is a Lazy Susan, or a horizontal spool holder that I designed for the Prusa MINI base after having binding troubles with Overture cardboard spools. The model requires one 608 skateboard bearing, a very inexpensive and common staple in 3D printing. You can get a 20-pack on Amazon for around $8. This holder doesn't require leg extensions or any additional accessories besides the bearing. It positions a cardboard Overture spool directly in the center of the spool groove underneath the MINI Base, and it has worked even better than I could have expected so far.
Both pieces can be printed at the same time on the MINI if you get them positioned just right, and the model requires supports for the top piece.
