Description
I have small and big rolls and needed a holder for both of them.
As i just recently got some 608 bearings i mixed it with designs i found here on thingiverse.

no raft needed :) you will need a drill to free the holes for the screws as i put support in there.

I like this sort of roller stand, but all the ones I've seen suffer from a bad flaw - any part of the stand that is higher that the roller(s) will hit the filament of a full spool. What's need is a design that is a solid roller (or lots of bearings) from one side to the other so that there is nothing sticking up in the filament area.
Perhaps if the 608 bearing supports inside the filament area were chopped off to be just U shaped channels to hold the axle/bolt up it would eliminate the interference while still supporting the inside end of the axle/bolt.
