Modular multi spool holder for Mosaic Palette+, Palette2 and other by Bash-T

I added a version for 74mm spools on request
During looking forward of my arrival of my preordered Palette2, I was thinking about the management of my filament spools.
I came up with a design for a modular spool holder, which I wanted to share with you.
Features:
Minimalistic design
Stackable, add as many spools to one holder as you want
Rolls on bearings, instead of haning on an axle -> You can easily replace the rolls without unmouting the other rolls
Various widths if you want to save as much space as possible on your desk
What hardware do I need?
8mm dia threaded or smooth rod. The length depends on the number of holders you want to chain
For each spool 4 bearings, 8mm inner diameter, 22mm outer diameter
Optional: M8 nuts if you use a threaded rod and want to hold the bearings in place
What files to print?
For a spool holder you'll need one "Base". Choose between the one for 54mm or 67mm wide spools (you can always go with the wider one, as the bearings can be adjusted)
Add as many "Extension" holder as you like. You can also choose between 54mm and 67mm wide ones. If you really want to have a tight snap-fit (and don't be afraid of occasionally using a rasp), you can choose the one "with pin". But the one without pin is also absolutely fine, as the holders will also stick together by the threaded rod.
Print for each Base/Extension 4 "Bearing-Cover"
These holder is for the standard 20cm diameter spools. Let me know if you have the need for other diameters / spool widths.
I'd love to see your makes :)
Happy printing!
