Conical Spool Holder - Notchless

thingiverse

Adaptation of my notched design, perfect for use in tight spaces like dry boxes. Like the original, it utilizes one 608zz ball bearing per unit and can be used on spools of various sizes. The conical shape ensures a broad range of compatibility. Zero supports are required due to its design, making it single-extruder friendly! If a different size is needed, creating one in OpenSCAD is straightforward. All parameters have been thoroughly documented, and the code should be easy to understand. Please consider leaving a comment sharing the size you made so I can add it as an STL here for others to use. ### Recommendations - Use only one ball bearing, mounted at the widest part of the cone. This allows the spool to rotate on its own axis, preventing binding and enabling the use of 8mm clips to keep the filament from moving on the rail as it unwinds. ### Changelog **2018-05-05** - Initial Upload **2018-05-30** - Added pictures of completed "2 inch rod" STL
