Spool Roller utilizing 6mm airsoft BBs
I needed something more flexible while liking the idea of mostly printed rolling elements. I used the cheapest 6mm airsoft BBs I could find on Amazon while no other hardware is required. The BB recirculate with the body and the roller race has increased upper clearance to remove overhang obstructions. No supports are needed but finely tuned coast/wipe/retraction setting are required to minimize blobs. I lightly hit my prints with a heat gun to eliminate
