The vitamins you'll need are 4 608zz bearings, 4 M3x20 screws and nuts or 4-40 x0.75" screws and nuts.

The parts were made in SolidWorks and repaired in Netfabb to ensure they are perfectly manifold

Works great! The design is sized just right, the 608 bearings fit snugly over the posts without rework and my spool is now rolling on it's own! I do need to print a filament holding arm next, as the filament rubs against my top frame rods when the Z axis is near the top (I added a sliced open straw to the threaded rod to make it slide around.)
