Filament Rack for IKEA Billy Bookcase

Filament Rack for IKEA Billy Bookcase

I had an old Billy bookcase from IKEA that was gathering dust and had the idea to repurpose it to help organize all my 3D printing filament and accessories. After spending a bunch of time on some R&D I'm finally happy with the model and I'm making it publicly available for anyone to print. The entire filament rack is designed so it can be printed on a single build plate and mounted with four 20mm M3 socket-head screws, no additional hardware required!

Features

• [NEW] Added print profile for combo filament rack and holder for up to four build plates
• Prints on a single build plate and assembles in seconds; no glue or hardware required for assembly
• Store up to four standard 1kg spools; designed to work with Bambu reusable spools (diameter of 200mm)
• Low-profile truss design minimizes wasted vertical space; mix and match with your Billy shelves to make the most of your space
• Top of the rack is completely flat allowing you to place the Billy shelves on top of an empty rack
• Works on flat surfaces; spools sit above the bottom allowing you to move the rack to a work surface

Printing Tips

• All testing and prototypes printed in Bambu PLA Basic; other materials might perform better but are not necessary
• Parts should assemble with minimal effort; if you're having trouble getting pieces to fit try calibrating your flow rate
• PLA can warp so ensure your build plate is clean or maybe use that glue you've been saving 😉
