<h3>----------------------------------New Update--------------------------------</h3><p>Now with .step files to modify to your needs and a new version for better Kallax support, if you are using it, with the screws on top (referred as 90 degree version). <a href="https://www.amazon.de/Gewindeeinsatz-Gewindebuchsen-Einpressmutter-Kunststoffteile-Ultraschall/dp/B08BCRZZS3/ref=sr_1_5?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&amp;keywords=ruthex%2Bm3&amp;sr=8-5&amp;th=1">M3 threaded inserts</a> needed, if you want to use the 90 degree version.</p><h3>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I updated my personal spool holder with this one, as I had trouble with cardboard spools which dragged on the plastic base of my other <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/154332-ikea-kallax-spool-holder">spool holder model</a>. This one is based on the spool holder system from erickson85 and I redesigned it in shapr3d to fit my needs.</p><p>I recommend PLA for this print for easier support removal. You'll also need 2x 608 type bearings like <a href="https://www.amazon.de/HonLena-Kugellager-Shielded-Rillenkugellager-Skateboard/dp/B08K936Y1Z/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3NNCDCKHTVPPY&amp;keywords=kugellager&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C152&amp;sr=8-5">these</a>. You can also use the ones that come with your Prusa Mini.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/270418/rich_content/90f94a59-6553-458b-be19-58cb80b66b5a/gif-bild.gif#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2252b7c772-73f8-4a20-a7d3-27e6ee34d3ef%22%2C%22w%22%3A203%2C%22h%22%3A360%7D"></figure><p>You can mount the spool holder with the original screws from the IKEA KALLAX. Then you put the two bearings on the roller and clip it on top of the holder.
