Updated 9-15-18 - better printing, better join on spool holder - uses 6mm BB spheres for bearing. Cage option or use jig to align balls Print top of spool holder shaft solid This is a work in progress. Many issues with the design, although I am using it Yes there are many spool holders so why did I make my own? I wanted hold my spool inside my cabinet and allow full Z motion, not need any extra parts to build it. able to have more than one spool mounted off the BW frame simple, and spin easily Update1: The first 'print-in-place' bearing was too wobbly, so updating with a tighter tolerance and adding the flange more easily by using the remix from "Better Ball Bearing with Flange Generator by maxb " Also my frame twisted over, so redesigned Update 2: Fixed a missing essential stopper, (glue some scrap on underneath or redownload Part1) Improved the angle a bit to [nearly] avoid the need for support. I printed without support, depends on your printer and material selection. BTW I found the main scaffold section is very strong when my filament jammed. It broke the shaft not the scaffold. I may redesign the shaft to pop out of a ball joint later.
