Ender3 Roll Dispenser - Zero Force

thingiverse

I was fed up with constantly supervising my printer, particularly when working with new rolls that are heavy and unwieldy. I attempted to locate something on Thingiverse, but for some reason, I came up empty-handed (unaware of the part's name). Nevertheless, I had a few skateboard bearings on hand - 22mm wide, 7mm thick, and 8mm in center hole - and managed to sketch out this design in about an hour. The initial concept was supposed to create individual holes just for the bearing width. However, when I tried to assemble the kit, it became apparent that around 5-10 hands would have been required. I decided to open up the entire design instead. It works flawlessly now, and I've never had as much fun with 3D printing parts as I do with this one. My printer can be left unattended without coming back to find it jammed after multiple layers.
