filament spool holder, using 608[zz] bearings. no hardware needed

thingiverse

This spool holder uses standard skateboard bearings to carry the weight of a spool of filament. The spool freely rotates, and there are spaces for bearings to support several widths of spools. As compiled and offered, the spool holder supports widths of 70mm and 90mm, which are typical of 1kg and 3kg spools. OpenSCAD source is also offered, so that if you have other spool widths, or want to modify it, you can! Share and share alike!

Get close but not quite there for other people's spool holders. Either they required bolts and other hardware beyond the bearings, or didn't post source, etc, and didn't accept 90mm spools (3kg). OpenSCAD to the rescue. Get dimensions of 608z bearings from internet Model thing which lets bearing rotate, and also has protrusion for carrying weight of bearing. Replicate and rotate this thing. Add rails to keep it together. Add additional rail with holes for securing to some base surface. Print. Is awesome. Post here. Share and enjoy.
