I found @GunplaMark_876550's Filament Dry Box with Rollers and really liked the concept, except that there was too much resistance in the roller system, especially with TPU, and would cause under extrusion.  I then found @tcosta_240835's remixed Modular & Minimal Filament Drybox which had much less resistance, but required printing a bunch of different spool holders for different brands.  

So I made this.  It uses the same standard 7.5mm x 22mm skateboard bearings so spins very easily and fits within the 73mm clearance of @tcosta_240835's stand.  I designed it to work with a wide range of spool width and hole diameters.  I made sure it fits the following brands that I print the most, and it probably fits most others.

The threads were designed with extra clearance but the bearing holes are exactly 22mm, so I recommend using X-Y hole compensation based on your printer, 0.15mm worked well for me.  I also recommend printing this in PETG due to its low friction and flexibility/durability.
