Parametric Adjustable Spool Holder

I created these because I wanted more flexibility than my previous rollers provided.

This design is fully parametric using OpenSCAD's customizer. OpenSCAD runs on all major platforms and the customizer is easy to use. I recommend using it to customize this design to your liking and saving your own files. There are some quick directions for using OpenSCAD at the top of the .scad file, it's plain text, if your new to OpenSCAD.

The included files are for a roller that:

• Uses 608 bearings.
• Can fit up to 100mm wide spools.
• Has 3 roller positions at 65mm, 97.5mm, and 130mm on center.
• Is 108.4mm wide, 166.2mm long, and 36.2mm tall.
• Uses straightened filament for locking pins, holes are 29.5mm deep.
• Has four 4.2mm mount holes in a 80mm x 80mm square.

A set of rollers needs two rollers and one each of the other printed parts. You will also need four bearings and two locking pins. The fit test should be used to check the fit of the bearings and locking pins. The rollers I printed for myself use paperclips for pins.

Check the OpenSCAD console output for various computed dimensions of the model.

All parts are exported in the correct orientation for printing. The rollers need support on build plate only and I used a brim. All other parts printed without supports or brim.
