The MK3S Spool Bearing Remix is great, but it may prove difficult to install it because you can't grip the spoolholder properly anymore. Confronted with this issue I came up with two solutions:
- Drill a couple of small holes in the sides of the toolholder, so that you can fit the tips of a set of pointy pliers into them. This makes it easy to provide the torque needed to screw the holders back into place. To aid with drilling the holes you can use the included drillguide. Attach it to the side of the holder with a bit of (double sided) tape to keep it in place while drilling the holes. Use a 3 mm drill bit on a low speed. Clamp the spoolholder in a vise vertically for best results.
- Rough up the ends of the holders and glue the knurled knobs onto them with some CA glue. Also rough up the relevant side of the knob for better adhesion.
The knob was overkill for me, so I've opted to drill some holes. Others might prefer the knob. I've printed both in PLA (0,2 mm, minimal infill).
Solved my problem with the MK3S Spool Bearing Remix; may be this upload helps others.
