TUSH - The Ultimate Spool Holder with V Rollers

thingiverse

I think that TUSH is an outstanding design, but I already had some smaller roller bearings that were too small to be used with the original design. To make it work, I added a 25.4mm V roller with a cup that the smaller bearing could be pushed into. The bearings I used for this print were 5.92 x 12.68mm diameter V bearings with a 4mm shaft center. After printing the rollers, I pressed them into the cup using a large vice grip. The printed size was very snug and required a fair amount of pressure to get them in position, so I highly recommend printing one to confirm bearing fit as tolerances can vary significantly between printers. The V rollers allow the spools to settle deeper into the TUSH and keep them rolling straight. To secure the bearings, I used 4mm rolled pins pressed through the bearings and sides, with no glue required. Kudos are definitely in order for filamentary's design!
