Hi all. I got sick of filament spools laying around and I felt like I need to do something against it.
I searched for filament management systems, but I couldn't really find one that was appropiate to me. So I decided to make my own.
You can print as many spool holders as you want. There are parts for smaller (70mm) and bigger (110mm) spools, so it can be used on any kind of spool.
I designed this to look good and also be great in usage. In the "thing"s is a little gap on the top. This can be used to put a sponge with oil in it to clean the filament from dust.
This system can be used with or without the teflon tubing. But with the tubes it is better, I think. I have used the parts listed below.
When you use 3mm filament, let me know. I can change the diameters etc.
I have an upper mount included. So you can build upwards, not just by side. Unfortunately this is just a prototype until now and a little wobbly. But it can be used I guess. I haven't tried it yet.
The "thing2" parts can handle 8 filaments. If you need more, let me know.
Hope this is helpful to other people like it is for me.
