Description

I found that 28mm broomstick poles are the cheapest decently stiff round material I could buy so I designed hubs around those to create a filament rack that doesn't rely on wall attachments. It takes some time to print, but assembly is super easy.

 

It is probably best to print in abs/asa/petg, however since the forces are directly stacked on the broomsticks, the forces applied to the print are only limited to the weight of a single tray (divided by 4 for a single hub) therefore it should be fine to use PLA too.

 

Instructions:

I added 2 screw holes for each connection point, but in general, only one is used. the second one is so you can put in a screw from any side, which is useful when expanding a fully stacked rack, or one that has been secured to the wall.

 

For a basic one-segment rack you need:

  • 2*180mm sticks per tray(horizontal spacers)
  • 4*240mm sticks per tray (vertical spacers)
  • 2* <1000mm sticks per tray (horizontal carriers
  • 4 legs (I used the pointy end of the broomstick that was left after cutting the rest)
  • 4 + 12 per tray 4*20mm wood screws (can be longer but not longer than 30mm)
  • 4 per tray 4*40 wood screws
  • 4 4-way hubs (printed) per tray
  • 2 3-way hubs (printed) for the top. (or end in a 4-way hub if you have room to expand later)

For the assembly:

  1. First, add the hubs to all the 180mm horizontal spacers, and secure them with a 4*40mm screw (put them in the shortest connection point)
  2. Push in horizontal carriers and secure them on one side with 4*20mm screws
  3. Make sure they are flush on a flat surface before securing the other side with 4*20mm screws
  4. Add either legs or 240mm sticks to one side of the tray, and secure them with 4*20mm screws
  5. When a tray is finished it can be stacked on the last one, the screws to secure these are actually optional

Hello, I have identified a design flaw in the three-way piece that terminates the shelf at the top. The broom handles do not fully seat; they are approximately cm from the back. It is necessary to shorten them by cm on each side or bevel them

Excellent design. Works Great! I designed some adapters for the top shelf meant for smaller reels. I made sure to give you kudos in my community submission.

I made something similar before I saw this. it's also stackable but it doesn't allow for adjacent stacking

Any chance to make this also for 20mm diameter stick? Would be grateful very much.🤗

You do know you can just download any file and print it on your mini, right?

Hey, I think these are just what I need, and I do like the "best use" of materials a lot!!, all while getting many hours of availability on my printer!!!) Anyway, Here in non metric land, there is a best price of $1.98 for a 4 foot stick of dowel at 0.4375 inches. Any chance you can make a variant at that dimension? Much Thanks... I think I have a boost, let me get that to you too!

I love to help with resizing, but I think 0.4375 inches is way to thin for filament storage. It makes sense that thinner dowels are cheaper but there is a minimum size. For perspective, I designed it for 28mm -> 1.1 inch sticks, this is over 6 times more material than 0.4375 inches. With dowels of 0.4375 inches, I am afraid you wont be able to go wider then 1.2 foot for each segment (4 filament rolls) without the dowel breaking or sagging. Than I designed the system to be fastened with a little screw, and I don't think a 0.4375 inch dowel will be able to take a screw without splitting. Let me know if you don't care and want to try anyways, but I think you should know before we both spend time and filament on it.

Hey Unhinged! Thank you for getting back to me, and with such great care! How about we try a more standard size of half inch. I can get half inch hardwood for $2.18 per 4 foot. I'm a long time wood worker, so i totally get the limitation i am imposing with the smaller size... But, i'm also the guy that glued two 2x6's together to span 18 feet for an awning. so, i'm for sure certifiable. Circles are quite strong, I think a half inch would make a good counter top setup for my back wall.

I'm boosting the 1/2" hardwood dowel version. Also, to limit splitting, its best to pre-drill the dowels, or any wood once you get out close to the end grain. Thanks a ton!

Hey @HenkHeijmen, I've started a half inch version, When its finished up i'll post it as a remix.
