RepBox rollers

thingiverse

I found the original TUSH style spool rollers in the RepBox to be quite temperamental. While holding a spool and attempting to slide them into alignment, I would inevitably knock them over.\r\n\r\nSince I rarely have more than 5 spools in the box at any given time, and most of my spools are less than 3.5" wide, I decided to create individual spool rollers that span the entire length of the box.\r\n\r\nThis allows me to simply drop a spool onto one of the 5 sets without needing to align it.\r\n\r\nThe rollers utilize the original bearings. Bearings should press in easily, but I used a threaded rod with washers and nuts to press the bearings in, which proved tight.\r\n\r\nYou will need to print 20 of the Roller-ends, and 10 of the Rollers.\r\n\r\nI have included the Fusion files for anyone who wants to enhance the design or adjust the clearances for their specific box.\r\n\r\nUpdated 8/12/2019 - Someone requested a variation of the roller-ends that could lie flat on a surface, so I created one. However, you will need to use adhesive tape to secure these in place unless you have another enclosure to prevent movement.
