Filament Spool Mounting Bracket

thingiverse

I recently discovered a Hefty 20qt Protect Gasketed, Hinged Lid Latch Box at Walmart that I thought would be perfect for my spool storage needs. This custom bracket was designed to hold a 12" long 3/4" thick piece of aluminum tubing that was just lying around. The box allows me to store four 1KG spools side by side, along with a dehumidifier. I added legs to keep the bracket from sliding down under the weight of the spools and feet that fit into the grooves at the base of the box to prevent it from sliding away from the wall. To ensure stability, I also double-sided taped the brackets to the walls so they don't slide back and forth. Update: A new V10 file was added which is 20mm taller than the first version and angles the spool cups down to compensate for the -7 degrees of back tilt. This extra height allows me to store the dehumidifier underneath the spools.
