Summary

This is a very quick and modular way to add bearing support for filament spools, using standard skatewheel bearings for smooth filament dispensing. Works great with my Taz 5 but also should be applicable to other aluminum extrusion frame printers. Enjoy!

These can work double sided. If you are using the standard spacer, hand tighten carefully.</p></div>
