Masterspool with flat sides and printed distances

thingiverse

Update 10.06.2018: Version 2: Changed bearing distance so they do not fall out if screw is removed, changed sides - Slots are open to the outside. Added Picture of my first 3 Masterspools - waiting for refill to be delivered. Version 1: I like the idea of the MasterSpool very much, but did not find a spool suitable for me. I'm using a M8 threaded Rod for the spool holder with 608ZZ Bearings in my spools - until today, there is no MasterSpool on Thingiverse featuring 608ZZ Bearings directly. Printed threads do not come out of my printer very well, so I avoid them wherever I'm able to. I like the idea of the Little MasterSpool to use as less Filament as possible. I have a CNC Router at home, so I wanted flat sides to be milled - but you can print them if you like. They do have a recess for the 608ZZ Bearings, so they do not fall out. Assembly: -) screw one "Side" onto three "screw Distances", -) add new Filament, -) put in a M8 Screw to center the "Bearing Distance", -) screw on 2nd "Side" Lenght of "Bearing Distance" should be that way, it does not fall out, if you remove M8 Screw from Center. You'll need 6 countersunk screws M4x10 and 2 Bearings 608ZZ
