Here is a simple upgrade for common frame mount spool holders. It replaces plastic stalk, and incorporates washer retainer as a safety lock. Axle is fabricated from 5mm aluminum rod stock 100mm long, ends threaded with M5 x 0.8 die. POM rollers are 24mm OD, 11mm width, 5mm ID. This upgrade helps filament unload, yet has a small amount of friction to avoid freewheel motion. ![20220816_165819.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/makewithtech/original/2X/c/cd9f4eba4d181d0f5ad254da8007d768b0677957.jpeg) ![20220816_170251.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/makewithtech/original/2X/8/8776b064372e4fa90794991dd205a67cbc6f53ee.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2022-08-16 17.37.07.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/makewithtech/original/2X/0/04d11a76683e4cdd5fa6f201adf2aeb66909be1f.jpeg) ---

I did something similar, but not as detailed as yours. I printed a spool with built-in nubs on the 2 ends. 608 bearings fit on the nubs, which then sit in a cradle that’s attached to OEM metal Creality spool holder bracket.
