UNIVERSAL FILAMENT SPOOL HOLDER

Hi all,

this is my famous Universal Filament Spool Holder from Thingiverse. You can mount filament spools in a wide range. For maximum rated dimensions see attached picture. I tried up to 2.6kg material spools without an issue. For smooth unwinding it uses ball bearings.

You can adjust the rolling resistance by tightening or loosening the M8 nut at the outer ball bearing.

What you need:

• M8 threaded rod
• 2x M8 nut
• 2x skate board ball bearing 608ZZ
  • 8mm (core)
  • 22mm (outer diameter)
  • 7mm (width)

Update
