Spool Rod Holder 8mm (meant for waterproof spool storage container)

thingiverse

See links below. This innovative holder is designed to be screwed into the side of a storage container, effortlessly securing an 8mm diameter rod in place. To build one such holder, our team utilized a waterproofed storage box as a model for its versatile functionality. The 8mm (diameter) rod conveniently sits within a sturdy holder on the wall of the container, allowing individual spools to rotate freely at all times. Subsequently, each unique color of filament has been assigned its very own port and high-quality Teflon tube which efficiently transports it through, subsequently leading it to feed directly into the print head itself. Furthermore, our crew cleverly incorporated a moisture-absorbing desiccant within this compact unit, thereby guaranteeing protection from unwanted water leakage caused by repeated container openings in due time.
