This is a rotating filament rack for centralized storage and easy access

This storage rack resembles a Ferris wheel structure, consisting of two A-frame stands and two rotating triple cantilevers that drive three trays. Each tray can hold three filament spools, for a total capacity of 9 spools

Update record

Configuration 3 Universal Tray Version 1.1: Fixed the hole error on Beam 2

The main hanger integrates a 6004 bearing and a ratchet, which, combined with the pawl on the cantilever, allows it to rotate only counter-clockwise

The two main hangers are connected by a hexagonal shaft, allowing them to rotate synchronously. They are secured to the main stand's bearings with M4 screws, ensuring the entire crossbeam can easily bear 12KG of filament weight

The tray consists of side panels and crossbeams, all flat-printed to ensure fundamental structural strength. Connected by M3-12 screws, each tray can hold 3 new filament spools with almost no deformation

The trays are secured in the main rotating frame's 608 bearings with M3-15 screws. Metal 608 bearings are recommended over printed versions for smoother operation, ensuring they remain vertically downward at all times

Therefore, the hanger has a clockwise limit, so it is necessary to try and keep the weight of the three trays balanced to prevent rapid rotational descent due to gravity

(This is also why it needs to rotate counter-clockwise. The heaviest tray, once rotated to the highest position, will cause the entire hanger to rotate forward. At this point, you can hold it with your hand to let it descend to the bottom, or rotate it to the back)

To enhance the versatility of this rack, a tray box version has been specially developed. Besides storing filament, it can also store other items, such as tools or other miscellaneous items

Print profiles

Configuration 1: Main stand disassembled version: Suitable for models the size of A1\P1\P2 (Recommended filament PETG)

Configuration 2: Main stand PIP version: Suitable for H series models (Recommended filament PETG)

Configuration 3: Universal tray version (Recommended filament PETG)

Configuration 4: Universal tray box version (Due to the relatively extreme overhang angle design, PLA is recommended)

Choose the main stand configuration according to your printer model. Choose trays and tray boxes according to your needs, a total of three are needed, you can select them individually or mix and match

 

Hardware configuration

Main frame

608 bearings *6, M4-20 or longer self-tapping screws *2, M3-12 screws *8, M3-15 screws *6

Single tray: M3-12 screws * 6

Tray boxes do not require hardware

A fantastic design and a great way to store lots of spools in a confined space 👍 I planned on using 4 x of these under a desk. All parts printed well and fairly fast, with the exception of the printed bearings on the main stand, these came out a little rough, but still usable. I'd suggest adding a modifier to that specific area and reduce the speeds, this way the overall speed for the main body won't be affected. During assembly of the baskets, the material thickness around the screw pilot holes was far too thin, there are grooves added to the design and therefore most lateral support rails split along these grooves when screwing the ends together on. I had to glue every end as well as using the screws. In this instance, if possible I'd suggest removing the grooves altogether. After assembling the project everything freely spins and the ratchet system works very well 👍 It is surprisingly very loud but probably not an issue for most people. - see reply for more details -

- continued - Filiment spools fit nice and neat, and if you plan on using this project for unpacked spool, you will be fine. HOWEVER, I vacuum pack my spools like many others do, and this product absolutly does not work at all with vacuum packed spools 🙁. Because of close passing moving parts the bags get very caught up and are easily tipped off the baskets, the sudden shift in weight causes the wheel to dramatically swing, throwing the next tier of spools off, this is then repeated a third time unless you are lucky enough to catch 9 spools. Unfortunately after almost 14 hours of intermittent printing and over 1kg used, because of the need to vacuum pack my spools, this project is not suitable for my use. I was really hoping to love this project, and I add my comments as constructive feedback and not negative. Genuinely with a few modifications as mentioned above, and for use with unpacked spool, this is a great filament storage option that I'm sure others will love 👍

Thank you for your comment, the slots on the beams are intentional to improve the shelf's resistance to bending deformation, similar to the structure of H-beams and L-beams, and cannot be completely removed, but there are indeed cases of cracking at both ends when tightening screws. I can try to strengthen the area around the screw holes at both ends.

Regarding filaments after vacuum sealing, I have also tried placing them. However, because the vacuum bags have very irregular shapes, it is difficult to place them within limited dimensions. I may develop a super compact round sealing box later to accommodate storage on such racks

Printed very well. I did have to use a countersink bit on the end caps as the machine screws I had the heads where rubbing the base.

Came out very nice! I did have some minor issues with screw alignment on the base, but with some finesse I got it together fine.

This model looks great! I was wondering what the finished dimensions are: I want to print this for a shelf that I have but I want to make sure it will fit on the shelf before proceeding. Thanks in advance!
