Adjustable Filament Spool Parking Block

thingiverse

I design and manufacture my products from my home office. Since I don't have a garage or workshop to build large spool racks for my filament, I utilize my existing bookshelf space. To meet this need, I created Adjustable Filament Spool Parking Blocks for Shelves that can adjust between 2.5 inches down to 2 inches and below. These blocks aren't fancy, but they print quickly and efficiently. They were designed specifically to keep the spools from gradually rolling off the shelf and startling me when they hit the ground. If you need them to hold a larger spool, simply scale them up in your slicer. They can be printed without supports and in any filament of your choice. Due to their compact size, they work well on textured surfaces as is. However, if placed on a smooth surface, a small amount of double-sided tape or similar adhesive on the bottom helps keep them in place.
