.5" Dowel Filament Spool Bracket Version 2

thingiverse

This is a redesign of my <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3451334">.5" Dowel Filament Spool Bracket</a> that I wanted to engineer with a more refined look, printed in less time and material. Keeping the original bracket's intent, I made it symmetrical and stackable to create customized multi-level racks of any size by adding more brackets and 1/2" dowels. The dowels are spaced about 5.5" apart, supporting typical filament spool sizes like 1kg(8"), 500g(6.5"), and 200g(5.5"). I suggest printing it flat so that the bracket is strongest where it supports the dowels and the weight of the filament. Tolerances are tight, so if you don't want to sand the dowels or file the holes in the bracket, resize it to 102%-104% when slicing/printing. No glue is necessary, but consider using it for a long rack that spans multiple dowels.
