Requires 2 * 6201RS bearings.
The spool is held in pace by friction, and I have not had any issues with slipping to this point.
Parts of this were reused from my spool holder.
I printed in PETG with no supports on any of the pieces, however. I did use helper disks on corners and the threaded end of the handle. The Print in Place (PIP) nob needs to be printed as one object and there is a flat side on the handle that is meant to be put on the build plate.
I printed with 5 perimeters and 30% infil at 0.24mm layer height. This is still a little flexable and does bend a little when reeling up the pool backwash hose in the picture, but at 50ft, it is quite heavy.
Press and lock the nob+hub into the arm with a little force.
Press the bearings in to the cone and the arm. I was able to press them in by hand without any tools.
All feedback is welcome!
