Ultimate filiment storage box bearing roller

thingiverse

Background: This design came from too much friction from the spool holder alone when using some types of filaments, even with some dry lubricant used there was at times too much friction for the printer to pull the filament to the printer without making the filament "skip". I just finished this design and hopefully this solves the problem of too much friction on the spool holder. Details: I Incorporated 608-2RS bearing holder and axle from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3209211 into the Ultimate dry box spool holder. I left the bottom side of the spool holder original so that if there was a need or want to use the original design there was still the option and can be used by turning the bearing holder over and removing the bearings and axle. This design was from the .stl files mixed together using Fusion 360, unfortunately I didn't have the CAD models and didn't want to take the time to remake them so I could make this modification so instead I used the mesh files. The "spigot" for the lid of the dry box was shortened by 10mm in order to accommodate the bearing holder portion and the bearing axle was shortened from the original design in order to fit it into the spool holder area. Also, if using the bearing side of the spool holder the spool moves up relative to the side without bearings by about 5mm. Please take this into account when mounting the spool holder. Instructions: Install all components as per the Ultimate Filament Storage Box instructions using the shorter "spigot" and bearing axle. Locate the spool holder 5mm lower than indicated in the instruction video if using the bearing side of the holder.
