We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A wall-mounted filament spool storage system designed to hold multiple spools on wooden dowels fitted into printed brackets. The design allows each spool to be removed individually without disturbing the others, which is a common limitation of single-rod arrangements. The printed parts are kept minimal to support the dowels without adding unnecessary bulk. PETG or PLA both work well, with PETG offering slightly better long-term rigidity under the weight of full spools.

Edit 4/15/2020: Versions C and D have been updated with increased clearance for the dowels and the ends are now chamfered to allow for easier insertion of the dowels. The information page has also been updated.

This is a simple wall shelf for filament spools designed to save storage space. The advantages of this design over running a single rod through all spools allow the user to remove any individual spool without having to take other spools off first. The printed mounts are minimally designed to support the dowels while not interfering with the spool organisation.

Version C is the most rigid and stable design while Version D is designed to be able to be printed on machines with a smaller build volume or to use less material. Material tags have also been included to label each shelf according to the materials stored.

Instructions

For each shelf print: - 2x Filament Shelf Version C OR - 2x Filament Shelf Version D Other materials: - 2x 1" wooden dowels (read below regarding choosing lengths) - 4x #10 screws at 1"-1.5" length Assembly: **In order to properly support the weight of filament, ensure the printed brackets are mounted to the wall studs and not just drywall.** *We use 36" in dowels with with printed brackets 32 in apart, spanning three studs with 16" spacing.* 1. Locate the studs and mark locations where the printed brackets will be mounted 2. Use a level held up to the markings to ensure the shelf will be horizontal and not slanted 3. Install each bracket one at a time with the screws 4. Slide the dowels through from the ends 5. Place spools on top of the dowels or printed mounts

Printing Filament Shelf

For Filament Shelf we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
