Spool Roller

thingiverse

This spool holder works in tandem with the filament shelf bracket I designed. It enables direct printing from the PVC shelf, freeing up space and removing mass from the printer's frame when the filament is typically mounted there. Both parts may need to be scaled up by 2540%. Each roller requires two bearings. The bearings were created by BoomZilla1 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2746804). I simply scaled up his design to fit the 1/2" PVC pipe (.840" OD, sch. 40 or sch. 80). The roller's length should accommodate most spools, but can be shortened if desired.
