8mm rod holder for IKEA Samla Box

thingiverse

I wanted to build a DryBox for my filament and because I wanted to use the Universal Filament Spool Holder (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2070272) I went for the 8mm version. The only problem was - I had no M5 bolts. ;) Since I liked the design I decided to make a remix for my very first Thing. I added a snap-in feature for the 8mm rod and a backplate to tidy things up. I also tilted the holder about 4 degrees for a better fit to the side walls of the box. For installing, I used M3x10 hex bolts + nuts (I used a hammer to persuade them) and an awl to make the holes in the box. I started with the lowest one, aligned the backplate on it and marked the other two. The 8mm rod (I used Aluminium) is a little bit longer (31,6mm in my case), so it will snap into the holder on both sides. Please be patient with me, since this is my very first Thing and leave some comments if you want. ;)
