Intended to work with the original printed spool holders.
No glue required, just press fit 3 x id 8mm od 22mm (608) bearings in each glider and press into the spool holders.
Allows smooth spool operation and eliminates any layer lines caused by the extruder tugging on the spool.
Fits any spool core larger than 50mm in diameter...

G-Code for PLA is also available as different settings can effect tolerances...
ONLY FOR Prusa i3 MK2!!!
For best results orientate it so at least 2 bearings are in contact with the spool.
Make sure both gliders are in the same orientation on both sides.
Rather than bashing the bearings in with a hammer, you can place them in a plastic bag and heat in boiling water, then just push them on... (heath and safely hot stuff blah blah blah)
Added 2 New Files Test A & B print first to check bearing fitment then print corresponding glider A/B file.
