Filament Spool Rack - Translucent PEX tube with LED lights

thingiverse

This is a custom bracket specifically designed for holding 3/4 inch PEX tubing. PEX can be easily sourced from most hardware stores and comes in a variety of colors to suit your needs. Although it's relatively flexible, placing a bracket every foot provides the necessary rigidity for this project. I printed the brackets using clear PLA filament to minimize visual distractions caused by the lighting. Inside each tube, I installed a 118 inch LED light strip that has been folded back on itself for added ambiance. The result is a gaudy yet over-the-top display that I personally adore. This custom bracket was crafted from two 5 foot lengths of transparent 3/4 inch PEX tubing and can be easily attached to any rack or shelf. In the near future, I plan to create a wall-mounted version using additional materials and time.
