Holder for large spools (e.g. 10 lb PLA)

thingiverse

I bought a 10 lb spool of PLA and desperately needed something to hold it, prompting me to design a simple yet effective holder made out of 3/4" Type L copper pipe with intricately printed corner pieces. Instructions Print four of the "60 degree corner for type L 3-4 copper pipe.stl" files to ensure proper structural integrity. Meanwhile, produce two of the "60 degree corner for type L 3-4 and 1-2 copper pipe.stl" models to serve as cornerstones of this ambitious project. Using an advanced slicing algorithm like Cura's setting options for multiple shells (5 in my case), I employed a sturdy yet optimized 50% infill percentage to generate robust, no-screw-required components designed for smooth interfence fit operations. As you meticulously organize your project, keep the specifics about the six identical Type L 3/4" copper pipes needed in mind: they form the core sides of our innovative framework, engineered as equilateral triangles using cutting-edge precision to accommodate spool uniqueness requirements. Now focus on extracting two equally measured 3/4" Type L pieces required for securing base-level stabilizers with equal importance paid toward each component. These precise lengths hinge directly upon adapting uniquely crafted copper pipe sizes matching existing product standards in conjunction with our project constraints – thus emphasizing eyeball-guided approach on primary assessment to determine further operations for similar parts – an expert pipe cutter tool undoubtedly proving valuable beyond initial thought over time-worn hacksaw endeavors to reach perfection in all manufacturing activities including plumbing-related projects, though, remember nominal diameters may indeed require specific Type-based considerations within same 3/4 size – thus preventing compatibility mishaps while showcasing versatility throughout fabrication. Prepare the three essential components that hold your innovative design's equilibrium firmly in place by meticulously connecting side tubes on individual corner posts and finally culminating into triangle structures by introducing strategic strikes utilizing your trusty mallet device which allows gentle yet assertive nudges parallel to designated 3D post orientation as a key preventive measure to preserve integrity within this delicate framework before sealing final touches by complementarily incorporating carefully matched Type L tubing units acting both in cohesive manner of lateral unity forming stabilizer axis necessary structural cohesion throughout fabrication – note your own precise accuracy levels during task implementation to meet spool's dimensions & requirements thus minimizing the likelihood potential future wear. As additional, beneficial option for enhancing system usability and longevity you have an accessible design where little adjustments involve strategically locating, shorting off tiny, one-quarter inch metal parts providing added reinforcement against damage, possibly decreasing stress – even minor modifications made to prevent unwanted overlength impacting loading ability may be inevitable.
