Soft Tape Spool - Ball Bearing EditionThis is an enclosed spool for a 13mm (0.5inch) wide and 150cm (60inch) long soft tape that uses a 22mm ball bearing for smooth rotation. I encourage you to modify this model to fit your own soft tape and ball bearings. If there is interest, a parametric version can be made to accommodate this more easily. Both 3MF and STEP files are included. Bill of Materials~40g filament1 x 22mm ball bearing1x soft tape (13mm x 150mm) Assembly InstructionsFit the ball bearing into the corresponding hole in the inner piece.Insert the far end of the soft tape into the accompanying slot.
