Combined with the bulkhead I made, (or you can drill a hole for a ptfe push-conect,) these rollers allow you to print directly from the spout of airtight cereal storage containers. 2 skateboard bearings and 2 m8x35 or 1/4inch bolts with nuts are all that you need.
Fits most spools, but some spools are too wide for the rollers, or even the cereal box. Some sanding of the outside of the flanges might be needed if your boxes rub where the grip is. I found the boxes with ridges fit better than the ones with one big grip indent.
Another option for width clearance is to dedicate one box as your drybox, and alter it to fit better. Just wedge something wider than the spool down into the bottom of the grip section and hit the container all around that bottom corner with a heat gun or similar (don't hurt yourself melting the hdpe/PP/whatever with a torch or anything irresponsible like that...). You would be trying to permanently deform the box outward. Then the spindles can be scaled in their print-z direction to accommodate as wide a spool you can fit in your particular cereal box.
