Got tired of having a bunch of Hatchbox spools laying around and I didn't want to just throw them in the trash. So I designed some swinging drawers for them in Fusion 360.
These snap in to the original holes where the filament is held in place. They are very sturdy once in there, but can easily be removed.
You can print 4 of these in different colors, or the same, and have a nice parts bin.
I will be working on making small inserts for different levels inside the drawers soon.
If any of you do decide to print some of these drawers, use this stand from wabbitguy on Thingiverse. I just printed it out and it works excellent. I just added some Grade 25 ball bearings (or you could use BB's like he did) and it's a winner. Nice work on the stand, wabbitguy!
