thingiverse

Things needed: * printout of the item, 2 pieces * two 125mm lengths of M8 allthread * four 688 bearings (16x8x5) (ODxIDxh) * two pieces of 20x2x100mm aluminum pipe (inner diameter 16mm) * two pieces of 10x1x90mm aluminum pipe (inner diameter 8mm) * four M8 nyloc nuts Aluminum pipes should be cut straight and slightly chamfered internally and externally for increased handling comfort and pleasant installation of the bearings. Lathe is handy for this purpose, but some patience and a file will do. Assemble as follows: 1. press a bearing into a 20mm aluminum pipe, flush with the pipe end 2. slip the allthread through the bearing eye 3. slip the 10mm aluminum pipe on the allthread, inside the 20mm tube 4. press another bearing on the other end of the 20mm tube Repeat the process until you have two assembled 20mm rollers with bearings in the ends, 10mm pipe keeping the bearings apart, allthread through everything. Push the allthread ends into printed holders. Slap the holder on a war weary CR-10, place the spool on it and enjoy.
