Giant (1 kg - 5 kg) Spool Holder (Designed for Gizmo Dorks 5kg Spool but Works on Others)

thingiverse

This design is based on some of the others out there that use some "608ZZ 8x22x7" ball bearings in the center of the spool rack but with this one, it's specifically designed to hold GizmoDorks 5kg spools. The center pole/screw fits perfectly into the GizmoDorks 5kg spools so it rotates flawlessly. I could edit this a little bit more to perfect it but honestly, it works really well as is. But feel free to perfect it/remix yourself if you want :) I've included the max file I used to create the parts. This also includes the STL's for the stand itself! Very simple design, pieces together like a puzzle and then uses a few screws to hold it in place. What you'll need: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 608 bearings like these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NX23HGQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 5/16" threaded rod like this that you'll cut down to size (I know it has low reviews but trust me, it works perfectly well, there's nothing wrong with it): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HS7WJXE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Several 5/16" nuts: https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Pack-Bolt-Dropper-Steel/dp/B07813GNJY/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1527696746&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=5%2F16%22+nuts&psc=1 And finally, some M5 x 40mm (you can use smaller ones like a 20mm but 40mm is what I designed it for and 40mm will provide more strength): https://www.amazon.com/M5-0-80-Button-Socket-Stainless-Quantity/dp/B01F7OK3XM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1527696793&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=m5+40mm&psc=1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS.
