Prusa i3 spool bracket

thingiverse

Here are a few ideas for brackets I came up with to house bearings and hold M10 threaded rods. This time, it's made out of scrap parts including an old spindle from my 6/4 bandsaw with a #60 (10 mm) bearing inserted into its place as the load-bearing surface for this bracket - also used M8 socket head cap screws. The overall design should fit in just about any existing work table frame so long as there is some room underneath and you're looking to replace it, though be aware you may still have limited clearance between the bolt that sticks down into bearing (around 15mm/0.59 in), if I ever figure out how make things better than average without needing expensive materials that won't work with M8 threads like I would want this stuff so bad...
