Adjustable Filament Spool Parking Block (Minimalist Edition)

thingiverse

I work out of my home office, where I design and print various projects. Unfortunately, I don't have a dedicated workspace or garage to build large spool racks for my filament. To solve this problem, I created Adjustable Filament Spool Parking Blocks for Shelves that can be adjusted from 2.5 inches down to 2 inches or smaller. They are simple yet effective and print quickly. My main goal was to prevent the spools from rolling off the shelf and causing damage when they hit the ground. If you need a block to hold a larger spool, simply scale it up in your slicer. These blocks can be printed without any supports using your preferred filament. Their small size makes them suitable for textured surfaces. For smooth surfaces, adding double-sided tape or a similar adhesive keeps them securely in place. If you prefer the original Spool Parking Block but find it too elaborate, I recommend trying the Adjustable Filament Spool Parking Block (Simplified Edition). This design prints much faster than its counterpart and makes a bold statement. It says: "I want my spools to stay put without wasting filament on unnecessary designs." By choosing this option, you're not only saving time but also being environmentally conscious. Keep your spools organized, save the environment, and be proud of your eco-friendly decision.
