Description

PDF

This model is suitable for any printers where the distance between the m3 screws on the wall is 40mm.

The holder exists in 2 variations - 60mm and 80mm. Measure your spool to understand what size you need.
Countersunk variant - for countersunk screws (DIN 965, 7991).
Base variant - for any other screw.

For work you will also need 2 bearings 608(ZZ or RS - it doesn't matter). As a partial solution you can use 3D printed 608 bearings as an example that will be enough. But if you can't print them correctly - I recommend buying metal ones from a store (for me - $1.5 for 5pcs).

 

> Print settings:

Plastic: any of non specific ones (PETG, PLA, ABS, etc.)
Set 3-4 lines for the borders (~1.8mm+). And 6+ layers for the top (~1.2mm).
Infill - 10-15% is enough, but I'm not going to stop you if you want to add more)

Main model:
Place the bottom of the model on the printer table.
No need for any support if you trust your printer.
Otherwise - use trees support for the lower holes (right geometry of these holes is only for aesthetics).

Roller:
Printed from 2 parts.
FF_A5M_SpoolRoller_size
FF_A5M_SpoolRollerInsert

Upd 12.04.25
Reworked roller. Now it can be print without support, but split on 2 pieces. Also now it's better working with exactly 80mm spools. Previous variant you can find in folder Old.
Add variations of 60mm holder (body + roller).
