Spoolholder 608

thingiverse

I designed this spool holder based on the TUSH Spoolholder design. I also used it (which is also very good!), But I did not quite like a few things. 1. The roller does not run in the middle of the bearing and always "scrapes" the printed case. 2. The fact that the holder can fall over relatively easily if you accidentally hit the spool. My variant can also take filament spools independently of the diameter. Also, a relatively large "wall thickness" of the pool can be recorded. The bearing wheel is 10mm wide (3mm wider than the bearing). Additional advantages: - The Spoolholder cannot fall over anymore. - They are always parallel to each other. - The Spool runs centered in the V-shape of the bearing wheel. - The two Bearing holders are plugged in and can no longer be separated or fall apart by the partholder. - All parts are completely without screws. Only 4x bearings 608 are needed. These are very common bearings, which are not too expensive. Optionally, you can use the Spoolholder holder without the parts "part holder" and "base", but then some of the major advantages will be lost. The file "Wheel" was printed in 0.1mm resolution with 100% infill. All remaining files were printed in 0.2mm with 20% infill. "Bearing holder" and "bearing wheel" are printed completely without support. Part holder needs support everywhere. The file "Base" requires support only with the setting "print bed touched" for the 5x recess at the bottom, in which one can optionally attach small self-adhesive rubber feet. I have printed all the files in the orientation as seen in the pictures. List to be printed: - 4x bearing holder - 4x bearing wheel - 2x part holder (optional, but recommended) - 1x base (optional, but recommended) Assembly: 1. Press the bearings into the bearing wheels (the bearings are centered in the bearing wheel). 2. Press the bearings with the bearing wheel into the „bearing holder". Press in the center of the bearing and not on the outer printed plastic part. 3. Press the opposite side of the bearing holder in place. 4. Insert the finished carrier in the housing holder "part holder". 5. Place the dovetail in the base carrier "base". Maybe the thing is a bit oversized, but works well =) Comments and criticism please in the comments. Update 02.02.2020: If anyone wants to change something, I have added the .step files.
