Description
Version 2 of the (now) Highly configurable Filament Storage Rack
This is my revised and now highly configurable 2nd version of the filament rack. This revised version has many new additions to make this more useful and into a highly customizable filament rack.
Changes from the V1 geometrically, isn't much different. Meaning, people that already have the first version, the components will be compatible with this version. Aesthetically , subtle changes have been made, small but nice details, like rounding the under curve better.
As per previous, here is the link for the wooden Dowling (aka broom handles):-

Now, the extra stuff - this, I'm excited about.
- Full posterior surface design, to fit on floors, or shelves that were less depth than that of the legs on V1.
- New revised and now optional extenders for additional racks. The older version where (IMO) boxy, ugly. These now look more ergonomic and in fitting with the hex style. Still no supports needed either. Just to clarify - they still fit V1.
- Larger feet for the 2 legged stand. Just to give more stability and support, especially if your rack continues to climb.
New Shelving system is an extra add-on for all your accessories. Like pens, alan/hex keys, filament stops….and more to come (open to suggestions also).
- A new shelf insert that provides a strong attachment point for your shelves. Once printed, its recommended to flex them a little before inserting. They are a snug fit, with just the right tolerance.
- A new Shelf spacer - this fits onto your Insert which is a universal mounting point for any of your shelves.
- Alan/Hex key holder - perfect spot to keep those dam pesky alan/hex keys in a safe spot.
- 4 - different hex shelves, 2 singles and 2 doubles. These both vary in heights, either half height or full height options.
I have printed all these components as part of a quality and assurance. All the shelving the components are printed in such a way that they need no supports. That's the way I design, avoid unnecessary waste.
When aligning in fitting these components together, they will need working in and out a few times, (depending on your filament, I found the PLA plus to be tighter and need more effort, normal PLA to be a lot easier). Like I said they are a tight fit at first, but do loosen up.
Lastly, if you decide to “tier” up the rack, increasing its height, I'd recommend increasing the infil volume of each layer, moving the new higher infil printed tier to the bottom, to give more structural integrity.
Enjoy folks, I look forward to seeing your designs and recommendations.
If you like it, it would be amazing if you could drop us a boost. All goes to a good cause (hopefully a new printer lol).
