This holder relies on ball bearings to minimize friction and enhance print quality. It's also highly customizable, making it compatible with a wide range of filaments. To get started, download and print the following files: * 2 x filament_holder.stl * 4 x centerpart.stl You can purchase the necessary components at your local hardware store or online through retailers like eBay.com. You'll need the following items: * M3 threaded rod * M3 screws and nuts * Aluminum pipe, aluminum shaft, or steel shaft with an 8mm diameter * Ball bearings (19/8/6 dimensions: outer, inner, width) * Optional: flat washers for added support (especially when working with thinner filaments) For a more efficient and convenient filament spool change process, consider purchasing a larger quantity of components and building multiple centerparts.
