This design still uses the 2 608 bearings, but instead of an M8 rod, it is 3D printed and uses 2 M3 10mm screws.
This is designed for the short version and 1 kg Spools are no problem.
You need:
2 M3 10mm countersunk screw
2 M3 nuts
2 608 bearings
2 M3 washer
1 holder
2 halfrod
1 endcap
A vice might help to put it all together
