Description

These are perfect for many of the spool rack designs found on here that require a 1in. diameter pvc/dowel.

Each rod (not including the screw portion) is 6 inches, 2 pieces equal a foot so delete or add rods as you need. The print profile will make two 4ft rods. These do not need glue or anything, and they assemble very easily.

These rods screw in together tightly and are very sturdy. The rods with no screw head are end pieces.

Made with 8 wall loops, can use regular PLA and will still be strong. They can be resized (by keeping x and Y in uniform scale) as you see fit and will still work

possible uses are up to your imagination

Tips for my design are greatly appreciated:

getting real frustrated with these dowel prints..I've wasted two rolls of filament and days of time waiting for them to print and they always fail at the end and fall apart...

scaled it downed 80%. works great as a broomstick rod. i slowed everything downed to 100, larger brim and concentric pattern though.

Very good!

Hi, thank you for this good model, I needed a smaller one to hold a curtain between two walls and the possibility to extend it to exactly fit the walls without losing the original strenght, so I've done a remix and created some accessories: https://makerworld.com/en/models/956907#profileId-925985 What I've done: - Scaled to 75%: now the diametrer is 18.5mm (about 0.73") - Added a 40mm rod (1.57") - Added a 5mm bolt (0.2") - Added a 10mm cap - Added a joint with a thread on one side and a simple cylinder on the other side that fits the hole in the original model (not used, but can be useful)

Exactly what I needed but failed twice on the top threads :( Could be me. Anyway, used the mod from BadBrain3000 to get around it

@martin.sibertig

but how did you get threads in both ends of the regular poles without the screw end?

@user_60764968

Replying to @martin.sibertig :

lots of glue 😅

@martin.sibertig

Replying to @user_60764968 :

I mean if you used the mod above, only one end of them has screw threads, so you had to create screw threads on the other end to be able to use the double sided screw adapters....so how do you get threads on the other end where there aren't any?

I scaled the model to have an outer diameter of 0.7 inches for the spool storage STL I'm using. Tree supports and a 4-layer-height raft was used to prevent the rods from getting pushed off of the bed and ruining each other. I was able to salvage all but one of the rods prior to adding supports. If you have any suggestions to lower waste, I would greatly appreciate them! The photo below is using 1 end piece rod and 4 screw piece rod. Thank you for the model!

@sigmaster

way too much filament used might as well be 100% in fil had to stop it 33% of the way done and wasted half a spool

@mateocray

you could use the spool rack design i made that uses this design for the rods. keeping it on a single tier and expanding horizontally would save time and material. in comparison to the other spool rack designs here

@mateocray

hi, do you have any comments on what you think could be better or ways it needs to be improved?

Hi Mateocray! First you did a great job, but I think the wall tube is a little thin, it works better. Also, as a suggestion, you could participate in Design Competitions and put the file into customization. This will help many people like me.
