I take issue with bubble wrap mailers and how bulky they are to compression, so I designed and made a spiky roller

I recycle LDPE. I vacuum pack to compact these huge unsightly mailers and packaging tapes. But the bubble wrap mailers are non-compressible, unless popped. Thus I had an idea of a roller that pops every bubble with ease. Uses two 608 bearings and 800 size 8 pins (   https://amzn.to/428wjAQ   ). This pops the bubbles at an industrial pace!

 

Printed in Marlon PLA on Prusa Mini 04 nozzle with 0.2 layer height.

The cone part (helper) is helping with a long task of inserting the needles. The inner cylinder locks these in-place. The little spacer are to be inserted between the inner cylinder and the bearing, ensuring that the inner of the bearing is unimpeded, ensuring smooth rolling action.

 

For handle I adapted great handle model from @SH_179939

 

Modeled in OpenScad.

This is not a toy, and will cause serious damage if used drunk or in careless fashion. Use at your own risk.
