Introduction: How to Assemble Your Universal Spool Holder
Step 1:
Lay out all hardware
Step 2:
Press the bearings on to the printed parts
Step 3:
On both longer rods:
- Thread a wing nut to somewhere in the middle of each rod
- Slide the circular printed parts with two bearings until they meet the nut in the middle
- Thread another wing nut so that the circular pieces have one wing nut on each side: and tighten these against each other.
- Thread a wing nut to somewhere in the middle of each rod
- Slide the circular printed parts with two bearings until they meet the nut in the middle
- Thread another wing nut so that the circular pieces have one wing nut on each side: and tighten these against each other.
Step 4:
On both shorter rods:
- Thread a hex nut a couple cm in on each side of both rods
- Slide the printed stand pieces through their lateral holes
- Secure with a dome nut on each end of both shorter rods
- Thread a hex nut a couple cm in on each side of both rods
- Slide the printed stand pieces through their lateral holes
- Secure with a dome nut on each end of both shorter rods
Step 5:
On both longer rods
- Thread a wing nut on each end with the wings pointed towards the rod
- Slide that side of each rod into the frontal slots of each printed stand piece connected to one of the shorter rod assemblies
- Secure the pieces with wing nuts on the ends
- Close the ends with dome nuts
- Thread a wing nut on each end with the wings pointed towards the rod
- Slide that side of each rod into the frontal slots of each printed stand piece connected to one of the shorter rod assemblies
- Secure the pieces with wing nuts on the ends
- Close the ends with dome nuts
Step 6:
On each of the loose ends of the longer rods:
- Thread a hex nut a couple cm in
- Add the remaining shorter rod assembly by sliding it on to each end of the long rods
- If it doesn't slide smoothly at first, make sure the long rods are going in completely straight
- Secure with dome nuts on the ends
- Thread a hex nut a couple cm in
- Add the remaining shorter rod assembly by sliding it on to each end of the long rods
- If it doesn't slide smoothly at first, make sure the long rods are going in completely straight
- Secure with dome nuts on the ends
Step 7:
To adjust your filament reel:
- Twist the wing nuts of the middle bearings to move them and the circular bearings along the rods
- The ends with the wing nuts can also move along the rods to support two filament reels of any size
Step 8:
The parts are completely 3D printable on any 3D printer !!
