Description
This is a remix of the excellent mega anti-tangle spool holder by graham01. It uses 608z bearings and chicago screw axle for the rollers, and clamps together with 3mm bolts. I've also remodelled the crossbeams so that they can be secured with 3mm bolts to make the structure much more rigid. I also added some holes to allow the spool holder to be secured to the surface (e.g. enclosure, table, etc).
I've included a non-secured version of CrossBeam_Bottom_x2.stl if you don't want to use bolts.
Note that the holes for the chicago screws are 8mm, so it's a pretty tight fit to push the screws through. When tightening the chicago screws, don't overtighten as you want the rollers to spin freely.
