Ender 3 Spool Holder with Bearing

thingiverse

This is a straightforward spool holder for the Ender 3. I never found the stock spool holder's friction levels to be satisfactory. This uncomplicated mod incorporates bearings, allowing the spool to rotate effortlessly. If you're like me and don't have space for tabletop spool holder designs, this is a practical compromise. This design utilizes only two skateboard bearings, specifically 608 style. (RS, 2RS, ZZ all will work) You'll need to print the 'spool holder' part and two of the 'rod' parts. Additionally, you can reuse your locking ring from the stock spool holder. I used 30% infill with PLA and found it to be strong enough. Have a happy printing experience!
