Modular Filament Rack

thingiverse

This is a DIY filament rack designed to assemble without damaging any parts. To build each layer separately: start at the bottom, then proceed to the middle and top layers, etc. Once you have completed the vertical dowels in the bottom layer, stack the second (previously completed) layer on top of it. Repeat this process until you reach the top. Each piece is designed for compression fit, but I used glue since that didn't work well. I created each piece to accommodate 1/4-inch dowels. You can cut each dowel to your desired length and make the rack as large or small as needed. For the compact rack shown, I used about ten three-pointed dowels, fourteen four-pointed dowels, seven five-pointed dowels, and two six-pointed dowels. Print this DIY filament rack at 0.2mm layer height without supports. The six-pointed piece requires a brim of 5-7 so you can print it without support structures. Also, make sure to orient the rack correctly for optimal printing results. I've included the gcode for the six-pointed piece with the recommended brim settings that worked for me.
