Here's another roller style for keeping your lampwork rotating smoothly and evenly in the flame. This is great if you're new to hollow work and/or want to have very even heat control for detailed work – it's really helped me create very even hollow implosions, for example.
This is not for work that is going to create tons of radiant heat like big vac stacks. Work below 35mm should be fine.
For stability and fire resistance, you must screw this onto a base of wood or other heavy material. The base here is octagonal to give more flexibility and interfere less with torch bases – it is not big enough to be used alone.
I recommend printing in polycarbonate for best heat resistance. I print the front faces, and the upper “Y” part of the yoke, with 100% infill as well to resist more heat. Also requires two 5/8" roller ball transfer bearings, and M4 hardware to attach them.
Available for purchase here if you can't print polycarbonate, or don't have the other hardware handy: https://hpglassstudio.etsy.com
