Compliant Spool Holder

thingiverse

I'm going to create a spool holder that uses bearings, but I want it to be easy to install without any hassle. The old way of using clips, nuts, or wasting hours with threaded ones is just too much. I came up with this design to optimize print time and material usage. The compliant arms stretch out to grip the rim of the spool tightly, making it super compact and perfect for long spool racks. The low clip profile prevents snagging, so you don't have to worry about it getting caught on anything. This spool holder is designed specifically for spools with an inner diameter of around 55mm and an outer diameter of approximately 200mm. It uses 608ZZ bearings and fits snugly onto an 8mm threaded rod.
