Description

FILAMENT STORAGE RACK

I present my first design in the way of a filament rack. This bespoke design was inspired by other designs and my limited space for filament storage. Finding a easy solution was tricky due to ideas of storing, without using masses of PLA for my design. I wanted something rigid, easy accessible and ascetically pleasing.

This simple ergonomic design is created so it can be also stacked. I have mine 3 high at present. I have mine on 15% gyroid infill, but I would recommend going higher for structural strength if you intend stacking floor to ceiling.

Items needed additionally are wooden poles - I.E. Broom handles. Strong, straight and best of all cheap.

The internal diameter of the holes are 1/8"(for the imperial users) and 29mm for us metric. The length is 4ft, meaning, I used 3 supports, this stopped the middle dropping. 16 Kilos of PLA will do this, haha. Each shelve accommodates approximately 15-16 spools depending on width size of the spools.

If required for stability on taller racks, it would be recommended to glue the poles in for extra support and integrity.

Settings :-

15% gyroid infill
Standard Textured PEI plate.
Nil supports
Factory settings otherwise.

Any feedback and/or photos is always welcomed. Happy printing all.

I changed the model a little bit to incorporate 3/4 of an inch wooden dowels to take a less space overall that works great!

@DecibelKaos

Your description for the diameter is incorrect. The diameter is actually 1" (Not 1/8").

@Sprokket

it's 1-1/8". they missed the 1 at the start, 1" is close to 25mm, this is aprox 28.5mm

@iphonevannick

Perfect! Printed with PETG standard settings on 0.4 nozzle

@joedebg

with pvc just support the middle too

@polymorpher

I had some currently unused 30 mm aluminium profiles with self cut threads in the center laying around so i changed the round holes to squares.

@uberfoo

Printed fine, but only complaint is the hole came out at 1.1" rather than exactly 1". This left the dowels a little looser than I would have preferred. So, I printed some 0.1" thick sleeves in TPU and that made the dowels fit snugly.
