About this model
This is a simple spool holder for the Ender 3. I never liked how the stock spool holder has so much friction. This simple mod has bearings added to allow the spool to roll easily. If you are like me and don't have room for the tabletop spool holder designs, this is a good compromise. This uses only two skate board bearings, 608 style. (RS, 2RS, ZZ all will work) You need to print the 'spool holder' part and two of the 'rod' parts. You will also need to re-use your locking ring from the stock spool holder. I used 30% infill with PLA and it seems plenty strong. Happy printing!
