Description

This is a stackable glueless rack system for storing your filament spools and boxes.

The assembly of the rack is pretty self-explanatory through the pictures. You connect a male part to a female part, do this two times to assemble a rectangle.

The diameter of the part is .725 and is designed to use low-cost and easily available 1/2 EMT conduit which has an OD of .706". Keep this in mind if you would like to source something else.

In my example, I bought 10ft pieces of EMT (for around $5.00) and cut them down to 2ft sections. You can use whatever length you want, but you may need to use the printed pieces in between long stretches of conduit.

These can be glued if needed/wanted, but the included dowel is a fairly nice friction fit, but that will depend on how well your printer is dialed in.

I LOVE this design because of the METAL conduit it uses! But Is there an easy way to shorten these? (I have NOT had luck editing .STL's in 3d programs...) - There's ALL this wasted space above each row of filament as shown in the picture, and unfortunately I'm limited on vertical space as well, and want to fit as many rows as I can (I use standard/regular 1.75mm/1kg rolls like Bambu sells... maybe my Inland filament is ~10mm larger diameter... so don't need near as much space between the rows, height-wise).

I provide the stp files so you can edit in any cad program

Only .STL's are here - DID find your .STP files in Printables - thanks (now to try Fusion 360 for the first time and see if I can even attempt to use it after coming from like AutoCad 2000 – I'm not hopeful lol). Thanks!

You click "Download or Print" drop down, and then "Download STL". I know that it says "Download STL" but if you look in the zip that it downloads, they are stp files.

As an electrician this really spoke to me. After a lot of modifications in Bambu studio this worked out great for my use case! Thank you!

Another big fan of this rack! It was the first thing I printed with my new A1since it was too much for the A1 mini. With 2 AMS lite I don't have too many filament spools right now but it keeps them organized. Thank you!

I am a big fan of this rack. My advice is to make the female sections maybe one percent bigger to allow for easier fitment. However, this will likely make superglueing the pieces together more necessary, but it’s easy to do and it helps to avoid breaking the connection point if your printing in a PETG or ABS that has a large amount of shrinkage. also very happy that this is able to be done with half inch EMT tubing, which is very cheap from somewhere like Home Depot. not just useful for roles, but I like using it even for sealed boxes of limit because before I used to have to stack the cardboard, which made it very annoying if I wanted to pick a roll from the bottom of the pile. Now it’s a lot easier to grab.plus the rack doesn’t use a whole ton of filament to make either and still be strong.

Big fan. Main advice is to increase the size of the female sections by one percent to allow for easier connections. However, this may make it more likely that you will need to use superglue for a permanent connection. perfect and makes it easier than stacks of cardboard boxes. it was a pain getting a roll from the bottom of the pile.

Really nice look. And so easy to put together. Mike is 90cm wide and the filament is to heavy (metal staves are too expensive so I used tree). I'm gonna print a rack to stand between the other two and then it should be fine. I didn't thought about how much filament I would be using to make this in for layers. Had to order more to make the last two 😂

Exactly what I needed. Space is at a premium for me. I used 5 foot runs of EMT and printed an additional part to go in the middle. It's strong, I stood on it, and I weigh somewhere around 150 pounds. Fit is good. Debur your pipe before starting and there will be no issues. I may glue it together eventually, but physics seems to be doing a good enough job all on it's own. Printed with some generic PETG on a textured PEI plate. P1S priinter. I'm currently printing the parts for a second layer, and will likely print a 3rd.

Came out good and is strong enough for all the spools I have

Perfect solution to organize all my loose spools. Nice tight fit for EMT but had to glue joints so they don’t slip. Added octagon end caps for EMT as a finishing touch. Printed in SunLu Wood PLA.
