Modular Filament Spool Rack

Description

This is a modular rack for filament spools. It is characterized by the fact that spools or filament boxes are stored vertically. The system is optimized for the following characteristics:

• suitable for spools, spools in vacuum bags, and filament boxes
• economical (123 g per rack) yet robust, thanks to an optimized shape and force distribution throughout the entire rack
• easy unloading thanks to clearance at the front
• modular and entirely plug-in (no screws)

The internal dimensions of a single rack are 72 x 210 x 225 mm (width x depth x height). A single rack is stable on its own, but its stability increases when connected together. The single rack is printed in two parts. The two parts can be easily plugged together. Then, the assembled racks can be stacked on top of each other, where they interlock. The lid is only placed on the topmost rack. Laterally, the racks can be connected with four small connectors each (also printed). No screws are needed

If you want to build the racks tall, it is important that they have sufficient lateral support. You can easily achieve this by also expanding and connecting the rack horizontally

An assembled rack can be carefully separated, but this should be avoided. To separate stacked racks, each corner must be carefully pulled straight up, one after another. Laterally connected racks can be easily separated by holding one down and pushing the other upwards along the side wall. The connectors are thus released
