Air Hose Guide rollers

thingiverse

I created this because I needed a solution and couldn't find one on here. Buying one wouldn't have been as satisfying. I acquired over 100 feet of air hose along with a hose reel, but it's not equipped with a hand-turn crank. That meant holding the hose while winding it back up, which was frustrating. I had old bearings lying around, so I decided to use them in my design. However, I realized that not everyone would have access to these components, so I opted for an alternative approach. I'm not printing the original model with bearings; instead, I'm printing a new one right now. The bearings are repurposed from old work parts and are made of plastic. I've exported the design as a step file, allowing you to modify it if necessary to suit your needs. My plan is to use 3 1/4-inch bolts or screws to secure it in place. I'm printing one model with 10% infill and another with 40% infill.
