Remixed low friction spool holder - low profile

thingiverse

I created a custom roller by remixing the original design from tahustvedt on Thingiverse and combining it with my wall mount that fits Ikea Stuva cabinets (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3437974). The hard work was done by tahustvedt, who made sure the threads and bearing spacing worked great. The remix narrowed the roller significantly, making it incompatible with large spools but ideal for all sizes I use in production. A key difference is that the bearings were relocated further into the tube away from the wall, allowing the cone to protrude and enabling the roller to ride closer to the wall. This custom design requires 2 x 12x28x8 ball bearings and 1 M12 x 40mm bolt, which can be purchased on Amazon at the following links: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0711GVFMQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006KYJ49S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
