Sliding Stand for Spool Resized & Modulated

thingiverse

Remix of @Radus' sliding spool stand. I love his concept but as other's have stated, it requires supports. This build is designed around removing supports. I used parts of their original design but did a retro-fit hoping others could find more use from this as its modular as well. The 20mm rail is standard minus having side T-slots removed for faster printing since they would not be used in my case. The following link is for 20mm rail attachments or custom length if you want smaller/bigger rails. This is also intended to be the base for my multi-spool storage boxes that I will secure with T-nut brackets that I have yet to design. PLEASE NOTE, design is complete and checks out. Print is currently in progress at time of uploaded. Photos of completed print will be attached followed by any updates to the design. Any feedback would me appreciated as this is my first modular (re)design. ________ Update #1: Spool_base_main_130mm_v2 was updated with a bracket on the lower side for added cross-arm support. ________ Update #2: Spool_base_main_130mm_v1_alt1 is an offset that can be used to attach to the topside of a 20mm or 40mm rail. Spool_base_main_130mm_v3_alt2 is similar but for side rails. ... these updates haven't been printed/tested as of yet, original upload parts are still printing. ________ Update #3: After completing the arms, i found you cannot use a standard 608 bearing. Previous design did not state bearing size. I have included a printable 14mm bearing to supplement the issue until I cant correct the design. ________ Update #4: Standard and alternative 1 both have been updated for 608 ball bearings (22mmx7mm) ________ Update #5: Added an 8mm bearing peg to seat a M3 screw. ________ Update #6: Added 2 additional base lengths (140mm & 150mm). I have also added files for each length with removed T-slot teeth.
