The Farmers Friend Spool Holder Now With Bearings

This is a Re-Mix of the Farmers Friend to include the roller bearings for less friction. Did it need less friction, Not really, but hey, BEARINGS.

I removed the spool stem and added a remix of a bearing supported Spool Holder originally intended to be used on an AMS riser purely based on its looks. It is recessed into the frame and has a ¼ - 20 heat set insert used to secure it all together.

Are you looking to relocate your farming p1p printer spools to the front for easier access and visibility? If so, this kit does just that!

I have 5 P1P printers in a shelving unit that made it difficult to access the rear spool holder for swaps and refills. With the printers being so close together I was unable to utilize any of the side mount options I came across in my search for a solution, so i made my own. The mount holds the spool off the p1p's frame and Infront of the printers. This allows for quick access when using a shelving unit. Zero issues with loading from the front as long as your PTFE tubes are pushed all the way into the connectors.
