Snap-together Filament Spool Holder 608 bearings

I modified the YAFR (Yet Another Filament Roller) design to accommodate a limited spool height by lowering it and positioning the bearings and rods as close to the floor as possible. This adjustment was necessary due to the restricted vertical space available for the spool. Additionally, I made changes to the design to reduce the number of metal rods required from four to two. The updated version now snaps together in the middle, providing a more compact and streamlined setup. To accommodate different filament types and printer tolerances, I uploaded the Fusion 360 file. Users can adjust the "Friction Fit" value in user parameters to suit their specific needs. Furthermore, the "UsableDistance" parameter allows users to customize the separation between the sides of the roller. For reference, I printed the design with a 0.04mm tolerance, but users may need to experiment with different settings depending on their filament and printer's accuracy. A tolerance of 0.1mm or higher may be necessary for optimal performance. The original file can be found at: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3335976/files
