Multi-purpose spool stand

thingiverse

This spool stand becomes versatile when you attach it to horizontal tubes of different lengths, which are easily replaceable power cable PVC tubes. The same structure can serve as a water hose spool stand or dual filament spool stand, allowing for endless creative uses. By printing the joints and detaching the supports, you can assemble a custom-fit solution in no time. Just use a knife to refine the pipe opening and slip the tube inside without resistance. The low-friction nature of PVC tubes enables effortless rotation of filaments or water hose spools. Even when the filament spool is slightly jammed, it affects print quality by causing rough surface areas to form. Instructions are straightforward: 1) Print out two pairs of left/right stands that will serve as the base. 2) Next, produce 2 X top revised support for the spool axis, an essential component. 3) Cut a suitable PVC tube length of approximately 6 inches X 8. A power cable layout often comes in handy and is reasonably priced. 4) Fit the printed joints together as seen in my photo to complete the initial setup. 5) Finally, slice off another 6-inch long tube for use as the spool axis shaft. 6) Assemble everything according to your design specifications, adjusting lengths as necessary for large spools.
