One of the activities of our team is the teaching and development of experiments for STEM education in [ Uni for kids ]( http://uni4kids.bg/ ). And one such experiment was an experiment visualizing how the hadron collider works and how the solenoid works. So, as a result, we have that:

But for the development of this experiment, we need a roll bender. Unfortunately, there is really hard to find a small one and a cheap one, so after some googling we find [this](https://www.wcwelding.com/rod-roller.html) and later [this one](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:835165)
And after some designing and development, we develop own version of this tool that is robust and 3d-printable.
### Materials and methods
#### Print-settings:
The Model is fully optimized for 3d printing
- Support/rafts: none (if you are not sure in your printer, you can add touching build plate support)
- Layer height: 0.2
- Material: PLA
- Shell line count: 3 /for rollers 5
#### BOM
- 4x bolts M8x55mm (for passive rollers and top mount)
- 2x bolts M8x35mm (for handle)
- 1x bolt M8x85 (for active roller axis)
- 1x anchor bolt (for the slider, this bolt must be filed as shown on images and glued in knob and ball inside the slider)
- 1x bolt M8x100mm with rectangular slot (for lever handle)
- 4x 608 ball bearings
- 8x nuts M8
- one piece 10mmx80mm aluminum tube (for lever handle)
