Rep 2 Makerbot Filament Spool Bearing Mount

A larger diameter bearing supported filament spool system with a hanger mount that fits the default hanger feature on the Replicator 2. Fits Makerbot plastic filament spools. Uses two shielded ball bearings for a 5/8" shaft, and an optional #10 x 1/2" sheet metal screw and 1/4 flat washer. No hardware or case drilling required to mount the roll. Keeps the filament roll in the default location but makes filament unrolling very smooth.

*Edit: 9/22/2015 Shaft Final is now shorter to better capture the spool/bearing assembly. The photo shows the screw/washer on the end of the shaft offset about 3/4" from the bearing. The new Shaft Final places the washer much closer to the bearing should the Spools loosen from each other and begin to back out of the Filament Spool. The change is backwards compatible with the Shaft Hanger Final, as long as you can remove the Shaft without breaking off in the Shaft Hanger.
