Spool Holders for Balco 3D Touch/Wanhao Plus/Maker select etc. (53/57mm width)

thingiverse

UPDATE (17th Feb 2019): Added a 53mm version as requested. This remix of the spool holder by Leon_123 was printed, but it was too wide for my spool, so one side kept falling between the bearings. The clearance on this one is 57mm and the spool still spins freely, but keeps spinning straight. An awesome spool design, surprisingly the spool doesn't rock backwards and forwards when in use. Check your spool isn't wider than 57mm before printing! I'm happy to design different sizes if yours doesn't fit. Two axles are needed (Filename- axle_608.STL), they're the same as Leon's version so you can use them if you've printed them already. The axles accept 608 Bearings, 608 2RS bearings were used because they have a better seal against dust. This takes the standard plastic nut supplied for the original spool holder. The last photo is a comparison of the original on top of this remix.
