Filament holder - customizable spool by hackermagnet

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I have designed a frame stabilizer for my Prusa i3 rework. A horizontal threaded rod is attached on the diagonal threaded rod of the frame stabilizer and I use it as a spool holder.
I have a few meters of assorted colors of filament without a spool and I thought it will be nice to create a custom spool for them. It's a customizable thing and I can attach it on the horizontal threaded rod I attached on my frame stabilizer.
If you have a horizontal rod you are good to go. Print 1xbearing_holder.stl(customize it for your needs) and 3(or more)filament_bracket.stl. If you have a vertical or diagonal rod print also the spool holder.stl(it's designed for a M10 vertical rod and M8 horizontal). On the same horizontal rod you can attach a regular spool by printing 2xCompact_Spool_Holder.stl(customize it for your ball bearing and spool size)
I used:
2xM10 nuts (to attach the spool holder.stl on the M10 threaded rod)
M8 threaded rod (about 150mm)
4xM8 nuts to attach the Compact_Spool_Holder.stl and the bearing_holder on the M8 threaded rod.
3x ball bearings 608 (2 for the Compact_Spool_Holder.stl and 1 for the bearing_holder.stl)
3xM5 threaded rods (about 70mm)
3xM5x30mm hex screws (for the filament_bracket)
9xM5 nuts
