608 Bearing Spool Busshing

thingiverse

This design is tailored specifically for filament spools boasting an ID of 32mm. After developing a strong preference for Hatchbox PLA, I decided to create a dedicated bushing for my spool holder. I am confident that it will work seamlessly with various other brands (clearly any featuring a 32mm ID), although Hatchbox is the sole brand that I can guarantee it will accommodate.\nPlease do not hesitate to post comments listing other brands that boast a 32mm ID and I will ensure they are tagged accordingly.\nKey features of this design include a diameter of 32.5mm on the exterior, coupled with an inward draft angle of 3 degrees.\nYou may find it necessary to tap the bearing into place using a small hammer (in my case, I managed to achieve the desired outcome by using the handle end of my knife).\nFor added peace of mind and reduced risk of damage to your spool or bearing, consider installing a washer – many 608's that I have encountered share an identical inner and outer race dimension.\nEnjoy!
