Description

I designed this filament shelf to resemble a well-known technical brick but at a much larger scale. Each lift arm can support up to 20 lbs, meaning a pair can easily hold up to 11 rolls of filament. 
 

For the axle, you’ll need a ½-inch steel conduit pipe from your local hardware store, cut to the length you need (I cut mine to 32 ¼ inches or just under 82cm). The axle pieces slide onto the conduit to form a giant, axle and snap together without glue. I’ve created two versions of these axle pieces: one at 200mm and another at 100mm. The 100mm version is much easier to print, so I recommend using that one—especially if you’re worried about your bed adhesion.


The cleat mount is designed for both strength and a clean appearance, as it hides the mounting screws. To ensure maximum durability, print the cleat mount with 100% infill and at least 3 to 4 wall loops.


The width of the shelf is determined by the wall studs, which are typically 16 inches apart. For my setup, I skipped a stud, making the shelf just over 32 inches wide.


 

You can customize the length as needed, but be sure to mount the lift arm pieces securely into wall studs for proper support.

Super tight fit, but worked it through with little effort.

Well done! This is a solid design. printed out 100mm axle pieces. with a bit of cleanup everything fit great! That was the biggest print we’ve done so far.

I couldn't find the correct inner tube size, so I used a 16mm one and made some bushings to achieve the right fit. Otherwise, it works very well and looks fantastic

Really nice and strong shelf. I had to sand the conduit to fit the axle pieces. It fits 8 rolls in boxes for me.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. For now I just have short version but more axle parts is on the way. As someone mentioned it would be great to have axle parts in other heights than 100/200mm. Also why seam on the axle is in the middle of part rather than in corner where it would be invisible?

I’ll be printing this for sure. I’m assuming using PLA will be fine?

I haven’t tested it in PLA, only PETG. I assume PLA would work fine but I’ve heard PLA under load will eventually bend out of shape.

Gotcha. So I ended up printing the brackets and their hooks in petg. I’m currently printing the axels in petg. Figured I might as well just play it safe. Thanks for replying!

Would love to see a 15mm pipe version added as well :) Local hardware store has 15mm heating pipe for cheap and in long lengths. Also 22mm but thats probably too big.
