Flat Bed Filament Reel

thingiverse

As part of my Bowden upgrade project, parts are needed to be made right away! This is a flat laying filament reel that lays perfectly still on the table unless you shake it vigorously, but even then it turns super smoothly with almost no effort required. The adapter for the spool measures 53mm in inner diameter. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Geeetech Prusa i3 Aluminium Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 25% Notes: This design uses a high-quality 608 Scooter bearing, as seen in the attached picture. It's recommended to use a reasonable infill percentage of 25-30% since this part won't be subjected to any stress or pressure. The base "legs" can easily be warped to fit your needs by heating them with a hair dryer (for PLA) and shaping them into a slight dome. The hole sizes may require some sanding to achieve the desired friction level.
