... I give you the Tri-Adapter Axle.
I started by measuring the inside diameter of the spools that I had. I came up with 4 common sizes, all included in my design. ~~I haven't found a spool (yet) that doesn't work.~~
I used a 3D printed angle bracket for PVC that I made and some PVC fittings to mount it above my printer. With [3/8" ID bearings](https://www.thebigbearingstore.com/r6-2rs-r6-zz-radial-ball-bearing-3-8-bore/ "Bearings") that pop into the Tri-Adapter body, the whole thing easily screws into a 3/8" coupling nut I mounted in an adapter I also printed that presses into the PVC fittings, all freely spinning on a common 3/8" bolt as an axle. I ended up getting two different length bolts for different width spools, but one long bolt could work for all spools.
I hope it serves you well - ENJOY!
