Filament Spool Holder Stand 1515 Open Beam

thingiverse

I had a stash of 1515 open beams left over from a printer build and was in need of a new Filament Spool Holder. So I came up with this idea. Depending on how long your open beams are you can adjust the height, but you'll need one open beam with a minimum length of 120mm - that's for the horizontal open beam, which just fits on the edges of the bracket. You could also print some kind of 1515 open beam if needed. Spools up to 112mm wide will fit easily in this holder. I made a special holder for Taulman Spools and it stands really well without any wobbling around. Print Settings Printer: Kossel XL Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 12% Notes: The base is 150mm x 150mm wide. With good cooling settings, you won't need any supports. I printed in Hatchbox ABS at 235°C nozzle temperature, 75°C heated bed, 45mm/s speed, 0.2mm layer height, 12% infill and three outer lines with raft and support using 3DLac and Simplify3D. The base fits the beams really tightly - you can print a bit bigger if needed, especially with ABS, 0.2-0.3% more would be enough. If there's any play in the beams, you can use M3x8mm screws and nuts to fasten them to the base and bracket. You can also use PLA or PETG, but not too flexible materials because this design needs to be stable. Turn the Bracket around so that the slot for the horizontal open beam is on top. Post-Printing There's no need to do anything. If you used raft/support, you'll definitely need to clean it up. How I Designed This Fusion 360 I used Fusion 360 to design this object and found it really easy to create such a design with rounded shapes.
