Discrete Filament Holder for Home and Office 3D Printers Are Making Their Way into Our Homes and Offices 3D printers are rapidly becoming a staple in our homes and offices, and their use is no longer limited to commercial purposes. While 3D printer manufacturers are designing compact and well-designed printers that seamlessly blend into our living spaces, stacks of gray filament spools often stick out like sore thumbs. This Solution Combines 3D Printing with Traditional Office Supplies A clever solution combines a 3D-printed filament holder with a standard ring binder to discreetly store filament spools. Multiple binders can be placed side by side on a shelf above the 3D printer, adding a touch of organization and style to your workspace. The Color Scheme Can Be Customized to Match Your Office Supplies Each binder's color can represent the corresponding filament color, or you can write information such as filament size, type, and color directly onto the front label. This personalized approach adds an extra layer of functionality and visual appeal. A Standard Ring Binder Holds the Filament Spool in Place The solution consists of two side brackets connected to a standard 80mm ring binder via two bottom plates. A rotating rod with flanges holds the filament spool securely inside the ring binder, keeping it out of sight. This Solution Is Affordable and Easy to Use The total weight of this solution is only 100 grams, including support material, making it an incredibly lightweight option. Paired with a standard ring binder costing around $5, this solution is an affordable way to keep your office tidy and organized.
