Printable Filament Stand

thingiverse

I preferred a vertical printable filament spindle version due to lack of access to a lazy Susan. After using it for a few weeks, I apologize for the delay in sharing. Here's how you can assemble it: 1. Print two bottom halves of the spindle without the top half, along with locking brackets and cross bars. 2. Print four spinner.stl files. 3. Print two stand top.stl files. 4. Print four stand bottom.stl files. 5. Cut six small filament pieces (10-20mm in length). 6. Assemble and glue the first half of the spindle together. 7. Assemble and glue the second half of the spindle. 8. Insert the pointy end of the cross beams into the large pieces (requires force). 9. Glue the ends of the cross beams that aren't pressure-fitted into the holes on the other half for easy disassembly. 10. Assemble the spinners into an X shape and insert a skateboard bearing into each hole. 11. Place a 5/16th rod (7.9mm) through each ball bearing, aligning the spinners with each side of the spindle. 12. Glue the spindles in place. 13. Insert the short filament pieces into one side of the stand bottom (use pliers and sharpened tips for easier insertion). 14. Add the other side of the short filament pieces to the other stand bottom, and glue them together. 15. Attach the stand top to both stand bottoms. 16. Place the rod and spindle into the stands for a vertical setup.
