I made some modifications to the Solder Scroll so it can accommodate small 5 mm x 11 mm x 5 mm bearings.

To fit these bearings, I removed the inner shafts for the gears and the scroll at the back.
I then added holes to accommodate pins that will serve as new shafts with the correct diameter for the bearings.

For the small and large rollers, as well as the spool, I widened the holes to fit the outer diameter of the bearings.

All holes are designed to be press-fit and the bearings were installed with a vise.
It might also be a good idea to use some glue for connecting the pins to the main body.

After everything is done it is smooth like butter!

You can still use the cover with this.

Much thanks to the original creator of the Solder Scroll! At first i didn't think i need it and printed it for fun, but now i really don't want to miss it.
