Summary
I designed this hanging spool mount to go under my workbench with my printers. I had lots of bearing left over from the fidget spinner craze and decided to put them to use. Filament comes off the roll nice and smooth.
Required Components:
1 x 5/16 Round Bar (Homedepot) - Cut to 108mm (https://is.gd/oXKu1k)
4 x 608ZZ Bearings
Printed Components Needed:
3 x HangingSpoolMountBearingSpacer.stl
1 x HangingSpoolMount.stl
1 x HangingSpoolMountEndCap_45mm.stl
1 x HangingSpoolMountEndCap_40mm.stl (optional)
Supports are needed for the bearing gap. STLs are print ready oriented.
