We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. Delivery is shown separately in your cart.

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A low-profile filament spool holder designed to sit alongside a 3D printer on a desk or worktop. It mounts on a central spindle using bearings and includes a screw mechanism to adjust the width for different spool sizes. The compact form keeps the filament feed close to the printer. PETG or ABS is a sensible material choice for resistance to the warmth near a running machine.

Original maker's notes

By sigshoj on Thingiverse · CC-BY

Low profile filament spool holder, for when you want your filament sitting next to your printer, and don't take up a lot of space.

Use 4 skatebearings (inner diameter of 8 mm) and press them onto the stud - (if very tight, sand a little bit). These can be found very cheaply on ebay.

Use the screw to adjust width.
Secure knob with glue.
The design should fit most spools - write me a comment if you have any questions or suggestions. Happy printing <3

Parts: Resolution: 0.2 mm - 20-30% infill
Screw: Resolution:0.1 -0.15 mm - 30-50% infill

________________________________________
UPDATE 4TH SEPTEMBER 2017:
The standart screw/base can hold filament spools of 100 mm in width.
I've added a longer version of the base and screw to accommodate user requests for longer screw/base. This allows for 150 mm spoolwidth.

________________________________________
UPDATE 4TH JUNE 2019:
Per request I've added a mini version, for smaller spools. This has a slightly shorter base, and the with between the pegs for the bearings has been reduced.

Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.

Printing Filament Spool Holder - Bearings and custom width

For Filament Spool Holder - Bearings and custom width we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
