Bearing/Clip for Minimized Heavy Duty Filament Spool (Instead of 608 Metal Bearing)

thingiverse

I printed the MHDFS but lacked 608 bearings and didn't wish to buy any since an Overkill situation was present due to my possession of a 3D Printer. Using the Boolean Difference tool, I designed a press-in clip for customizable mounts on the spool holder. A future derivative might include a hole for a shaft like that of a 608 bearing. I've uploaded two files - one as a test and the other in actual application (mounted on the side of a toolbox). Enjoy my video showcasing the printed item: http://youtu.be/14a8W5HOV0s. The printing process involved a Printrbot Jr., 1.75mm PLA, Repetier Host, Slic3r, .3 layer height, 3 solid layers top and bottom, and 3 perimeters. The nozzle diameter was 35mm and the infill was rectilinear at 25%. The extruder temperature was set at 210C with a bed heat temp of 70C. Attach or group this file using your preferred program to a stand, hanger, or toolbox/cardboard box. My test print responded well to a round file for the "clip-in", flat file on top and bottom of the circle, and 320 grit sandpaper for overall smoothness.
