Description
This is a simple one-piece wall mounted "high-friction bearing" for holding ABS filament while printing.
Instructions
I tried for a while to find a simple filementholder with no friction and true bearing, but i was not able to locate any that didnt require some ekstra equipment that i did not have inhouse. So I made one in pure plastic. This is a very simple wall-mounted filament holder drawn in autodesk inventor (file included in zip).
Print with 30% fill and 2 shells. Mount it on a wall above printer, add filament and start printing. :)

Thanks!!
Printing one right now, There are almost NO models for wall-mounted spool holders on this site!
FYI, printed this spool holder. Came out pretty good, works great for my Makerbot Filament spools, but doesn't work for my cheap 1kg spools with the smaller hole (rod is about .5inches too short for optimal fit)
Used NetFabb studio to stretch the piece on the Z axis by a factor of 1.30. This should give me the length I needed for the part.
