Twisty Rolling Filament Spool Holder

thingiverse

This is a versatile filament spool holder designed for holding 1kg spools with its rollers positioned on the outer edges and smaller spools on the inner edges.\r\n\r\nPrint:\r\n\r\n* 1x base unit\r\n\r\n* 2x upright supports\r\n\r\n* 2x roller components\r\n\r\n* 4x axle rods\r\n\r\nRequired hardware includes:\r\n\r\n* 6x threaded inserts, M3x3mm (4-5mm depths acceptable)\r\n\r\n* 6x socket-cap screws, M3x6mm\r\n\r\n* 4x standard bearings, size 608\r\n\r\nAssembly involves inserting axles into bearings first, followed by insertion into roller tubes. These components should fit snugly without requiring additional force. Threaded inserts are installed in uprights using a soldering iron. Uprights are then secured to the base unit with screws. This step can be challenging due to the screws passing through the base into the uprights, which simplifies printing.\r\n\r\n**Update Needed**: Currently experiencing issues where rollers jump from their slots when filament is pulled sharply. An upcoming update will address this by making the slots deeper or possibly implementing a captive system for better stability.
