Modular Filament Storage System

Simple yet effective modular filament storage for your spools.

It is built on the 2020 V-Slot extrusion by Openbeam, and can be mounted on a wall.

The idea behind it is quite simple, you can either use a 20mm V-Slot and mount the brackets onto it, or, you can print a wall hanger (included) that would be fastened on the wall and mount the brackets directly to it.

The brackets use a 2040 V-Slot beam that's either 20cm or 25cm in length, so that you can fix more accessories on them.

3D Printed Parts

• L_F_B_RHLD - Left, front, bottom Rod Holder • L_F_B_RHLD_MIRROR - Right, from, bottom Rod Holder • L_F_T_RHLD - Left, front, top Rod holder - locking mechanism • L_F_T_RHLD_MIRROR - Right, front, top Rod holder - locking mechanism • WALL_MOUNT - Left bracket that would secure everything in place • WALL_MOUNT_MIRROR - Right bracket that would secure everything in place • ROD_CAP - Left bracket rod locking mechanism • ROD_CAP_MIRROR - Right bracket rod locking mechanism • WALL_HANGER - 3D Printed part that is secured on the wall with screws • WALL_MOUNT_MID - Mid bracket for longer builds (to sustain the mid of the rod) • ROLLER_20mm - bushing to reduce friction of filament spools on the rods

Required Hardware

• 2pcs 20x1.5mm aluminium or steel rod or conduit - 1m length • 4pcs 6mm wood/concrete screws (depending on your walls) • 10pcs M5x40mm screws (secure the bracket to the wall mount) • or

• 20pcs M5x12mm screws (secure the bracket to an existing 2020 V-Slot) • 20pcs M5x12mm screws (secure the 2040 V-Slot & end caps) • 4pcs M5x20mm screws (secure the end caps to the center holes of 2040 V-Slot) • 10pcs M5 brass heat insert (only if you secure the bracket to the wall mount) • 2pcs M3 brass heat insert - locking mechanism

Of course, the hardware can be tweaked to fulfill your needs :)
