Spool Holder for Gladiator Garage Shelving

thingiverse

These spool holders clip onto Gladiator garage shelving, specifically model GARS774XEG, and are designed to pass through the shelf grid, locking onto sheetmetal rails with enough clearance to accommodate the manufacturer's variance in rail height. They're perfect for 3D printing, strong and stable enough to hold 1kg spools securely. Nominal 3/4 inch schedule 40 PVC pipe provides a good balance of slip and friction so that the spool rotates smoothly but won't unroll itself. Most manufacturers' 200mm spools fit these holders, as do Makerbot's 250mm spools. The spool hub must be greater than 27mm to fit inside the PVC pipe. The PVC cap diameter is approximately 34mm, removable for narrower spools if needed. A Fusion 360 archive file and STEP file are included for those who want a custom size hole or need to modify the design. Designed by Robbynowell on Thingiverse.
