Spool Holder using Bearings for Printrbot Simple Metal - BuMat Spools
A Spool holder for Printrbot Simple metal, to use with Bumat spools
( ~92mm exterior width )
Intended to use with
4 x 608z bearings,
4 x 5/16" x 1" ( 8mm x 25 - 30mm ) Bolts,
4x matching nuts,
No washers required (spacing from the main body of the spool holder is built into the design)
I made this version with bearings because I got tired of switching out spacers and an axle whenever I wanted to change filament, this lets you just place the spool on top without having to swap out anything else.
I used OverrideStudios' Spool holder as the base for my design because it fit ontop of my Printrbot's vertical rods absolutely perfectly without any modifications, and it looks great!
