Spool Roller Wall Mount

thingiverse

I created this Thing because nothing else fit my needs perfectly. So from all the spool holder and wall mount designs that inspired me, I crafted this free-hanging, self-centering spool holder on ball bearings. To build one, you'll need an M8 x 100 coach bolt, a nut with a nylon inlay, and two 608 ball bearings (plus some screws depending on your chosen mount). Print the mounts with support using high infill density settings. If your bearings are exceptionally smooth and cause the spool to retract when it's reeled back in, add a break disk between one of the bearings and the nut. I hope this design works just as well for you as it has for me, and if you like it, please share a photo of your creation!
