Dehydrator Spool Holder/Roller

thingiverse

Hardware: 1 608 RS bearing. Hold the bearing by the center and try spinning it. Should spin more than 3 times. If not, there's too much grease and you need to take some out. Not necessary if too much trouble) Optional (3 626ZZ bearings, but I think it'll add friction rather than help it) 3 M5 nuts 1 M5 x 10 socket head cap screw (used to do pull-thru method to seat nut) 3 M5x35 any kind of bolt (maybe longer?) 3 M3x10 tapered bolts 1 M8 x 20 bolt 1 M8 nut Material: ABS, NYLON, PC. (Put a box over you ender 3 after the printer starts printing. The reason why you can't use PLA or PETG is that it'll start to deform in the dehydrator. Supports: you will need tree supports for the spool_adapter_normal and the filament_roller_top. Assembly: You will want to pull the nuts through the spool_adapter_normal using the M5x10 bolt. There are 3 spots for the nuts. Put the bearing in the filament_roller_top and then cover it using filament_roller_bottom. Take the M8 bolt and put it from the top of the roller_top going through the roller_bottom. Take the base_plate, use the raised side on the bearing. Bolt it all up using the M8 nut. Then use the cutout in the base_plate to use the M5 bolts to bolt up the spool_adapter. This will sandwich everything together. If done properly, the filament roller should roll properly now. Put the spool_base_plate on the roller_top by sliding it over the spool_adapter. Take the M3 tapered bolts and self thread them into the roller_top. Now use some zip-ties to zip tie the spool_base_plate to your dehydrator. This requires you to still have to the bottommost layer of the dehydrator mesh. End!
