Compact Roll Stand

I Designed A Small, Hardware-Light Spool Roll Stand for 1Kg spools. I Needed a Compactly Designed One That Wouldn't Require Much Hardware. The Minimum Amount of Hardware Required for This Version Is Just an 8mm x 100mm Smooth Shaft. You Have the Option to Add Two 608 Bearings, Which Will Make It Even Easier to Roll. All Parts Are Small Enough to Be Printed on the 125mm Bed of a SnapMaker. You Will Need to Print: Two Roll Stand Sides One Base Two Spool Holders (Choose One) Two Spacers (If Necessary) On a SnapMaker, You Can Probably Print the Base, Holders, and Spacers All at Once. Since My Spools Are 65mm Wide, That's What the Spacers Are Designed for. A Spool Could Be Up to 80mm Wide and Wouldn't Need Any Spacers. Narrower Spools Would Require Wider Spacers. I've Included Stl Files for Four Different Variations. The First Two Have a Hub Diameter of 32mm, With and Without Bearings. The Next Two Have a Hub Diameter of 53mm, Also With and Without Bearings. The Actual Hub Hole on the Spool Is Slightly Larger, Making It Easy to Fit. If You Use the Bearings, the Printed Sizes Will Be a Tight Fit. I Had to Tap Them into Place with a Small Hammer. My Spool Holders Are Modified Versions of the "Customizable Compact Spool Holder with Bearing Support" Design, Available at Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:774334).
