Roller Spool Holder - Remix

I liked the design of this spool holder but I needed 3 of them to fit in my dry boxes I was making.

I decided to see if I could tweak these. So the originals are wider than a regular spool, maybe 25mm or so extra room. I took off about 20mm from the middle and shortened so I could put 3 of these side by side. With doing that, I had to make new end caps with a cone shape as the spool sits on the end caps now. It is a very tight fit for the spool. All of my spools fit on here so if you have any wider than a standard 1kg spool, yours may not fit.

I haven't test this long term but it seems to be keeping the spool in the middle. Let me know if you make one of these and have any issues.

I printed mine in PETG in standard settings.

Those are 15% grid infill, 0.2mm Layer Height, 2 Shells/Wall Loops, I forgot to change my top and bottom layers to 5. They printed in 5 top, 3 bottom and it seem good.

Feel free to change settings. I printed these on my Flashforge 5m, I did calibrate it using all the calibrations. If your printer is not calibrated, your results may vary.

I'd recommend you glue the caps to the tube. They fall off easier when swapping spools.

Description

I needed a fast and reliable spool holder with easy assembling system so I came out with this design. You will need two 608 bearings in order to assemble it.

Print instructions
A 40mm PVC tube can be used instead of its homolog printed model.
This tube should be glued to both end caps with hot glue or any other type of glue.
608 bearings can be inserted on the axles without glue and can be locked with 1.75 filament pins.
