Description
PDF- The modified design supports 2 PVC pipes. This lets you store filament vertically, which is a lot more efficient use of the space. Also another plus of this design is that you can print directly from the storge rack.
- Materials
- 3/4in PVC- desired length of shelf x 2
- Drywall screws x 12
- Drywall anchors x 12-used because of the amount of weight the rack has to support
- printed brackets
- Printing
- I printed them in PLA, but PETG is also perfectly fine
- Print out the “Bracket” file
- I recommend printing out 3 so that you can have two on the ends of the pipe and one in the middle for added support.
- Printed at 15% infill and 0.3 Layer height
- Installation
- Take your PVC pipe and attach the brackets
- If you using 3 brackets try to get 1 bracket roughly in the middle
- Using a level line up the rack against the wall at the desired install location
- take a pen or pencil and mark each of the holes, ensure the rack is level and straight when you do this
- remove the rack from the wall
- drill holes using a drill-bit sized according to your drywall anchors.
- Screw each bracket in to the anchors. I recommend doing the outermost holes first.
- Lastly ensure everything is tight, then add your filament.
- Take your PVC pipe and attach the brackets
