Printing Parts
No support needed! - designed to print on any printer without support.
See images for the two Base types for printing
Use stronger material: PETG, ABS, NYLON, Other. I personally use PETG for everything these days.

If you want less print time you can try the -THINWALL versions of the main parts. Just find the same file name with -THINWALL at the end. The thin walled WheelCore is needed for the thin walled WheelWalls.

Open Center Design

Base-BearingWheel_SingleStrut
WheelWall_OpenCenter
WheelWall_SingleStrut-LongCore
WheelCore
WheelWall_OpenCenter_Cap
Base Roller: two options
With Bearings:

LowerRoller_Core_WithBearing
LowerRoller_Cap_WithBearing
Without Bearings:
LowerRoller_Core_NoBearing
LowerRoller_Cap_NoBearing
Optional Handle:

Handle_OuterWasher
Handle_Grip
Handle_Core
Dual Strut Design
you can not use a handle for this design, it will hit the strut.

Base-DualStrut
2X WheelWall_Bearing_ShortCore
WheelCore
this is the easiest and shortest print time design

Ideas/Suggestions
Let me know in the comments below what you think and if you have any ideas for these designs. There is much more that I could add but have kept it fairly simple to see how everyone uses the Cable Roller.

If you're like me and find this to be extremely useful then please share it and print some for friends/family/coworkers. Our lives get better the more people start using 3D Printers for everyday objects.

Enjoy!
