Bare Essentials Spool Holder and No-Tangle Filament Cuff

thingiverse

You need a spool holder, and you need it fast! This minimalist spool holder prints in minutes, not hours. Simply jam 608 skate bearings onto the ends of 2 Bic pens and snap them into place - that's it! No widths to adjust, no feet to position carefully, and no screwing anything to the wall or table are required. Just plop your spool on and go with the rim-rider design that keeps the filament safely captured within the confines of the spool. But wait, there's more! If you print this spool holder today, you can also print up this No-Tangle Filament Cuff! Slip this springy cuff over your new roll of filament and leave it there until the roll is done - it just rides along with your filament while you print and then keeps your filament tidy while in storage. The wrap-around design prevents the filament end from getting tangled up under loose outer wraps. This cuff is easily scale-able for any width or diameter spool.
