Simple Rolling Spool Holder

I found many variations of rolling spindle holders with bearings - but most of them seemed more complicated than I thought was necessary or used excessive design and printed parts to avoid some simple hardware. I certainly appreciate the ingenuity of many of the existing available designs, I just thought this was a much more simple approach.



#Print

1x Body

I printed these with Pro PLA, but the parts are not subject to that much stress so I would suspect that nearly any filament will work.
