Hang your Spools from the Ceiling
thingiverse
To address limited horizontal space, I suspended filament spools from the ceiling above my Thing-o-matic using plastic plumbing pipes and chains for height adjustment and joist access. I created clips to hold excess filament and a separator to prevent spool rubbing. End-caps from the plumbing aisle were modified to fit the pipes, with hose clamps and screws securing the chain. Spool separators, designed in OpenSCAD, can be customized using 3/4 inch pipe and an M3 x 16mm bolt. Lastly, I crafted filament clips for workbench and TOM top installation, featuring a slot that slides over the printer's support material.
