Creality bearing spool holder

thingiverse

I couldn't find a bearing based spool holder that I like so I designed this. It is intended to use a standard 60822 bearing, as found on skates and skateboards, and fit onto the standard side mounted retractable arm with the twist locking end. Two versions are included: * spool-1-* is a 2 piece design where you can use some rubber bands or O rings to keep the bearings in place - although the bearing should be push fit into the outer sleeve. You can use 1 screw on the unmounted end (outer sleeve should spin freely), but the hole is all the way through so you could also put a long screw in the other end for added strength. * spool-2-* is a 4 piece design where the inner part has recesses for the bearings already. It will need a screw in either end. I printed them in PETG 100% infill but if using screws you could get away with much less infill and/or PLA. All holes will probably need a bit of drilling out depend what size screws you want to use. You could also print 2 end caps and screw one the other side of the mounting point for added strength, especially if using PLA. I'll add some assembled pics at some point but it's fairly obvious how they fit together.
