Modular multi spool holder for Mosaic Palette+, Palette2 and other

thingiverse

-- Update September 20, 2018 -- I added a version for 74mm spools on request. During planning my arrival of my preordered Palette2, I was thinking about the management of my filament spools. I came up with a design for a modular spool holder, which I wanted to share with you. Features: - Minimalistic design - Stackable, add as many spools to one holder as you want - Rolls on bearings, instead of hanging on an axle -> You can easily replace the rolls without unmounting the other rolls - Various widths if you want to save as much space as possible on your desk What hardware do I need? - 8mm dia threaded or smooth rod. The length depends on the number of holders you want to chain - For each spool 4 bearings, 8mm inner diameter, 22mm outer diameter - Optional: M8 nuts if you use a threaded rod and want to hold the bearings in place What files to print? - For a spool holder you'll need one "Base". Choose between the one for 54mm or 67mm wide spools (you can always go with the wider one, as the bearings can be adjusted) - Add as many "Extension" holders as you like. You can also choose between 54mm and 67mm wide ones. If you really want to have a tight snap-fit (and don't be afraid of occasionally using a rasp), you can choose the one "with pin". But the one without pin is also absolutely fine, as the holders will also stick together by the threaded rod. - Print for each Base/Extension 4 "Bearing-Cover" These holders are for standard 20cm diameter spools. Let me know if you have a need for other diameters or spool widths. I'd love to see your creations! Happy printing!
