Mr. Filament Spool Holder

thingiverse

This is a spool holder designed specifically for smaller filaments. My 3D printer originally came with a standard spool holder suitable for wide spools, around 2 1/2 inches in diameter, however the new filaments I purchased were significantly narrower, about 1 1/2 inches in width. The existing holder proved to be non-adjustable, but it does provide reliable support for my smaller spools. The bearings used in this design drew inspiration from a related project found on Thingiverse (3517283). Unfortunately, the original design was too large and cumbersome for my specific needs, prompting me to create a customized version that fits perfectly within my project's constraints. These experimental bearings are an innovative feature that adds an element of fun to the overall design process.
