The 1x8 board is actually 8 inches. I found this to be perfect width for the containers with enough of an over hang on the the front for the filament to feed down out of the containers. To achieve this you will have to buy a 1x10 inch board and rip it down to 8 inches wide. Being that a 1x8 board is not truly 1x8. I also made a mid connector bracket so you can really stretch this shelf pretty far. I only made them long enough for 5 containers in my setup but you could easily get 6-8 on a section with no issues. The brackets are made pretty beefy. I used PETG but i don't think you would have an issue using PLA. I did add a spot for a screw to stabilize the end brackets into the board shelves. I was unsure when making them if they would need it but after putting them up it does. And questions just ask. -Enjoy.
