Often cardboard spools are quite rough and tend to jump out of position with a onesided spool holder, therefore i designed an internal spool roller with 4 individual rollers. Moreover you are able to load the filament from the front, which makes life way easier.

Pros : 

  • Cardboard safe - 4 individual rollers for safe rolling

  • Multiple spool size - 55mm up to 70mm spools

  • Front loading the filament into the PTFE tube - way easier

  • Uses easy to source 625ZZ bearings - every Ender3 wheel contains two of them

  • Chamfered outer rollers - makes loading the spool easier

  • You can mount the roller left and right - Mirrored STL's are provided

Cons:

  • Protrudes over the acrylic deckplate - you need to remove the spool rollers if you want to work on your reverse electronics bay

  • …design is not yet longterm tested - you are a tester!

 

BOM :

  • 6x 625ZZ bearings

  • 1x ECAS04 PTFE adapter

  • 1x M3 heatset insert

  • 1x M3x8mm screw

  • 2x M5x12mm screw (flathead)

  • 2x M5x16mm screw (flathead)

  • 2x M5x20mm screw (flathead)

  • (Optional - 10mm wide, 2mm thick silicon spacers)

Note : 

The roller contains two 1,7mm deep pockets on the inner legs, you can glue in some 2x10mm silicon pads to prevent scratching and vibrations on the acrylic deckplate

UPDATE : 

  • 18.04.2026 - uploaded CAD files

Printing : 

Recommend printing in ABS/ASA due to heat. 4 walls, 20% infill. Outer rollers are a bit tricky to print due to the chamfers - print slow!
