Filament wall mount brackets for duraline f-system

prusaprinters

<p>So I was looking for a nice, clean and cheap way to store my 40+ filaments spools.</p> <p>I came up with a solution to fit a spool on two metal central heating tubes.<br/> The tubes are mounted on what's called a 'F-System' flexible shelf/storage solution. It's sold all over the world, goes by the name of 'Duraline F-system' in some countries.</p> <p>Cool thing is, you can swap any spool you want, without removing a whole tube of spools.<br/> You could also run filament directly from this mount. Although I would advise my other design to prevent under extrusion (see the orange spool holders):</p> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2856675">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2856675</a></p> <h3>Update November 25 2018</h3> <p>Added 3/4 inch version. Can't test this myself, so please leave a comment if there's a problem with it</p> <p>What do you need?</p> <ul> <li>F-System rails, I used 3 pieces of 150 cm (height)</li> <li>F-System hooks, 20 cm long. I bought 9 for 3 shelfs of 150 cm (wide) with extra room to add some wooden shelfs.</li> <li>Central heating tube, or anything suitable. 22 cm diameter, 150 cm long.</li> <li><p>3d printed brackets for use on these F-system hooks. I printed 9 in PETG.<br/> DIY</p> <ol> <li>Mount the rails, I opted to use 3 and leave 60 cm in between. Leaves 15 cm of tube on each side.</li> <li>Mount the hooks, you need to leave 3 empty slots between each shelf. So each shelf uses 5 slots (2 for the hooks themselves). This way you can still remove all spools with ease (2 in between fits, but almost locks them in place).</li> <li>Put the brackets on the hooks, it's a tight fit, so make sure it's all the way in.</li> <li>Add the tubes, be gentle on them as they fit quite tight as well.<br/> If you really like to, you could give the tubes a screw from underneath (between the hook and bracket). I added this in the design, but it's not needed.</li> </ol> </li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: 3D Printer Accessories Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.200</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 40%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I printed them in white PETG, use a higher infill to prevent cracks around the snap-fit for the pipes. No supports needed.</p> <p>The wall side hole tends to break easily if there's too less infill, you could keep your hand on while snapping the pipe in, that works as well.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>Designed this in like 50 minutes in OnShape.</p> <p>Only had to redesign it once to accommodate for one partly thicker side of the hook, and to make it a bit longer to make this really sturdy.</p>
