Hobby Lathe Accessories

Still in need of some improvement but if you have one of those mini lathes they use to make beads with then the bottom guide will help keep some level of center when adjusting for new material. 4-5 bucks worth of hardware along with the print. 3/8 inch bore radial bearing, 1/4x3/8x1/2 Steel spacer, 6mm bolt with 3 matching nuts, and 2 m5-.8x12mm cap screws to replace wing nuts. Remove from bearing on tailstock to slide hood over. Slide one nut between the tail stock bearing and large bearing. Use a screw driver to keep the sandwiched nut from moving and then tighten the main bolt down. Use the back nut to serve as a lock for the whole shaft or it will spin out once you start. Use the 3rd nut as as a secondary lock. printed it with a .6 nozzle and .4 layer height in PLA but Im sure it wont matter much on your prefered settings.
