Yet another filament rack.

I couldn't find any models that fit my needs so I designed my own. 
I wanted to store my filament under my staircase and make use of the space between the studs, without the rack sticking out too far. 

Specs

  • 3 countersunk holes for #8 wood screws (4mm diameter screw + 8mm diameter head)
  • Holes positioned within the depth of a standard stud (3.5") for easy access
  • Accommodates 2x 0.5" (~13mm) rods (I cut some old metal curtain rods)
  • Adjustable rod slots for flexible spool placement (1kg and 250g spools)
  • Chamfered front holes for smooth spool insertion (Note: I print inside walls first)
  • Dual-sided design eliminates the need for mirroring the file

Print settings

  • More walls = stronger brackets
  • Printed in PLA+, with 5 walls, 5 top and bottom layers, 20% infill 
  • ~45g of filament and 4 hours per bracket

 

Designed in Illustator and Tinkercad. No parametric files but easy to modify.

I am open to creating customized versions for different rod sizes upon request.
