Hardware

**Nuts, Bolts, Bearings:** - 1x M8 Threaded Rod: (cut to size with hacksaw) 95mm for Open Center Design 170mm for Dual Strut Design - M8 Nuts - 2x M8 19x6 Bearing - 1x M5 Bolt 40mm Length and M5 nut (only for Base_BearingWheel_SingleStrut) - 2x M5 10x4 Bearing (only for LowerRoller_Core_WithBearing)

**Glues: **choose best option for you

Plastic Adhesive: make sure the plastic type you use works with your adhesive, please use proper air filters/respirators
CA Glue (Super Glue)
Epoxy: please use proper air filters/respirators

Base Hardware:

M6 holes are cut into both Base types for you to secure the Cable Roller to something. A center distance of 50mm is between both holes.
Both Base types are 80mm x 180mm in size.

Printing Parts

**I suggest that you use the "THINWALLED" files first.** Unless you are printing this for a really heavy duty industrial cable the THINWALLED wheel sizes should be more than enough. **No support needed!** - designed to print on any printer without support. See images for the two Base types for printing *Use stronger material: PETG, ABS, NYLON, Other. I personally use PETG for everything these days*.

If you want less print time you can try the -THINWALL versions of the main parts. Just find the same file name with -THINWALL at the end. The thin walled WheelCore is needed for the thin walled WheelWalls.

Open Center Design

Base-BearingWheel_SingleStrut
WheelWall_OpenCenter
WheelWall_SingleStrut-LongCore
WheelCore
WheelWall_OpenCenter_Cap

Base Roller: two options With Bearings:

LowerRoller_Core_WithBearing
LowerRoller_Cap_WithBearing Without Bearings:
LowerRoller_Core_NoBearing
LowerRoller_Cap_NoBearing

Optional Handle:

Handle_OuterWasher
Handle_Grip
Handle_Core

Dual Strut Design you can not use a handle for this design, it will hit the strut.

Base-DualStrut
2X WheelWall_Bearing_ShortCore
WheelCore

this is the easiest and shortest print time design

Ideas/Suggestions

Let me know in the comments below what you think and if you have any ideas for these designs. There is much more that I could add but have kept it fairly simple to see how everyone uses the Cable Roller.

If you're like me and find this to be extremely useful then please share it and print some for friends/family/coworkers. Our lives get better the more people start using 3D Printers for everyday objects.

Enjoy!
