Intro
Last week I created a spool holder system to be used for printing and storage at the same time (non-hydroscopic filaments, but this system might also be used in closed containers if you like)
Last design met my demands: use and store at the same place. Modular and adjustable system for different spool sizes. However, ‘adjustable’ could be way better, the nuts were making menuts/crazy. Moving them took ages. So there needed to be some changes.
After redesigning three times I came up with this model.
Improvements:
[update]
My shelves are 18mm thick, 25cm to the back and 80cm wide. I''ve added an extra part to guide the filament. Each filament will be ready to be pulled out and inserted into the printer. Each filament spool wil get one of those guides. After ejecting the filament, I can manually rotate the spool to retract the filament back on the spool leaving just a few cm sticking out of the guide, ready to be picked up again for a next job with that filament.
Extra needed:
I've created several 3MF files for different configurations. Different files for the connection parts, for single small, single big, double small, double big or small and big combined. Also 2 files for 2 pieces of the big or the small rollers.
For each roller you need 4 side parts (last two files).
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
