Spool Box Stack with Bearing #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Spool Box Stack with Bearing by pjm237 Thingiverse

I feel like ‘lazy’ susan is too derogatory. Why not super helpful spinning susan? From pjm237 on Thingiverse:

I wanted to stack my collection of Spool boxes but wanted to be able to rotate the individual spools freely. You know to get to a box in the back without having everything fall apart.

What I did was make a thrust bearing or lazy susan to place between the spools and between the bottom spool and the floor.
Print 2 of the bearing cage for this. Put 1/4 inch bearings or 6mm bearings in one cage. Glue the second on tho the first cage. Make sure the glue is not going to get on the bearings. Only glue near the alignment pins.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
