Spool holder distance piece for box mount

thingiverse

I started storing hydroscopic filaments in IKEA boxes and required a way to attach my spool holders inside these containers, leaving space at the bottom for silica pearls. To accomplish this, I use two spool holder mounts; one is glued to the bottom of the box. An M8 nut is inserted into each mount, followed by a threaded rod with a height that allows it to clear the lid of the box, enabling the second mount to be screwed onto the top. The lid should hold both in place. You can pair this design with my spool holder: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3741157 and filament port: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3741171
