Description

This spool holder accommodates a wide range of spool sizes (at least 160-200 mm, probably more) and prevents tangles caused by the filament jumping over the flanges of the spool. It uses ball bearings salvaged from hard disk drives. The rollers are tapered to keep the spool centered in the holder.

Aaah, I see. Hmm. I might have a think about remixing this for alternative bearings. Lovely design, btw.

I got the HDD bearings from a bunch of old HDDs. There's one bearing per HDD, so you need to take apart 12 HDDs.

Hi, where did you source the HDD bearings?
