Under-desk Horizontal Spool Holder

thingiverse

Filament spool holder designed to fit snugly under a desk, keeping the spool horizontally aligned. The top plate is securely attached to the bottom of the desk using screws or double-sided tape for added stability. A lower holder inserts through the spool and snaps magnetically onto the top plate with ease. The entire assembly rotates smoothly around a sturdy thrust bearing. Perfect for individuals who struggle to maintain clutter-free horizontal surfaces. This versatile spool holder comes in two distinct sizes, catering to various types of filament spools. A shorter version is ideal for narrower spools or those with an inset, such as Atomic Filament, while the longer version accommodates most standard and wider spools. The spool holder utilizes a robust 14mm thrust bearing and powerful 15mm magnets. Three magnets on top and five on the bottom provide a secure attachment for spools weighing up to 1kg, although additional magnets can be used for extra stability. The magnets are embedded in the plastic using crush ribs, while the thrust bearing is held firmly in place by the magnetic force.
