Filament Spool HDD Bearing Adaptor - Remix

thingiverse

I needed a set of filament spool hub adapters for hubs with 51mm and 57mm inner diameters, but all I had were standard Filament Spool HDD Bearing Adapters designed by Peaberry (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2052951). To resolve this issue, I decided to remix the adapter to match my needs. The new adapters have a 25mm diameter hole for the HDD bearing and are similar in overall size to the original. However, when I tried to reuse a broken 1TB Seagate hard drive, I discovered that its bearing design was significantly different from the one used with Peaberry's Filament Spool HDD Bearing Adapter. The bearing on my hard drive is press-fit directly into the housing and does not use a separate mount plate. Therefore, I designed a new HDD Bearing Adapter Plate to fit into Peaberry's top mount spool holder bracket (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2054533) design, which can be used with my remixed hub adapters. The adapter plate fits neatly into the center hole of the top mount spool holder bracket and does not require any screws for securement.
