3D model description

Upgrading my printer from a single color to a triple cone hotend extruder (the new Diamond) and wanted:

1) a way to change out filament spools a lot simpler/quicker

2) to reduce drag from the spools that were just hanging on 1" PVC pipe

So I printed these bearing to go over 1" PVC pipe. With four, two in front and two behind, the filament spool turns easily and is not not size specific.

3D printing settings

Designed using Autodesk123D Design

Sliced with Slic3r

Print control using Repeiter Host

Combined using common 1" PVC and readily available PVC fittings readily available at Home/Hardware stores

I use a single spool bearing stand for my Prusa i3 and will be using a triple spool bearing stand on my new custom CoreXY 3D printer I'm building using 80/20 aluminum extrusion with a 300x300x500 build chamber that has a triple Bowden extrusion/hotend system.
