Filament Storage Solution (IKEA SAMLA)
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
The IKEA SAMLA Boxes (22 l / 6 gallon) is the ideal storage solution for my needs. The profiled wall design makes it very stable. It can hold up to 5x 750g standard spools and I can put Silica gel inside. The IKEA SAMLA boxes should be available in many countries in the world.
By mounting an installations tube in the box, I can feed the filament direct from the box to my printer. That's very convenient!
My spool have all about 20 cm / 8 inch diameter but there is some space left to the wall, so 21.5 cm / 8.5 inch should also fit fine.
It is fast and easy to print. It is very easy to assemble. A drilling jig is also included.
The STL files are for M4 screw and nuts, but as it is customizable you can configure it also for inch parts, other tube/pipe or boxes.
I recommend also this things:
- [Spacer](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:728531) to hold the spools apart (I'm using simple_spacer_32x5.stl and simple_spacer_32x10.stl )
- the [Spool Adapter](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:735213) for perfect fitting of different spools
- a [Filament Clip](http://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=Filament+Clip)
