Magnetic Label Frame for RepRack (Fits 28 mm IKEA HUGAD Rod)

Ever spent minutes (or hours…) trying to remember which filament is on which spool? Meet your new little helper: the Magnetic Label Frame for RepRack.

Slide in a 64×37 mm label, snap it onto your 28 mm IKEA HUGAD rod, and voilà – instant organization! Each frame holds a tiny 6×3 mm neodymium magnet, giving it a surprisingly strong grip while weighing barely 6 g – lighter than a slice of bread, but much more useful.

Why you’ll love it:

• Easy to update: swap labels faster than your coffee gets cold
• Magnetic, yet featherlight: stays put without bending your rods
• No more mystery spools: finally, your PLA, PETG, and “what-is-this?” filament are clearly labeled

A small piece of plastic, a tiny magnet, and a bit of ingenuity – sometimes the simplest ideas make the biggest difference in your Maker life.

Tips & Tricks for Maximum Filament Happiness:

1. Print a unique frame for each filament roll – see the actual color of your filament at a glance! Perfect for those rare or fancy spools. Downside: it takes a bit of printing time if you have a huge collection.
    
2. Print frames by material type – PLA in one color, PETG in another, etc. You can print multiple frames at once (up to 12 on a Prusa MK4/S or CoreOne), making it super fast to equip your whole rack. Material sorting has never been easier!
    
3. Label creation made easy – initially, I thought about 3D-printing the labels too, but with 70 rolls in my collection, I switched to printing labels on paper using Word. Fast, flexible, and easy to update – especially if your filament stash keeps growing!
