Solving The Biggest Problem With Storing Spools

- I have always had a hard time with storing my 3D printing filament or wire spools until I figured out what I was doing wrong. I designed a spool rack that solves one of the biggest problems I've found with spool storage. The cool thing about this design is that it could also work for storing any other material that is wrapped around a spool or tube like tape for example.

If you're like me you have creative ideas that are trapped inside your mind. Byte Sized Engineering videos will give you the knowledge, inspiration, and confidence to make your creative ideas a reality. You are more capable than you think, and I want to help you unleash your inner maker!
You shouldn’t need an engineering degree to make your ideas a reality. I suffered through years of engineering school so you don’t have to. I know how it feels to want to make something I’m excited and passionate about, but also feel overwhelmed by not knowing where to start. I’ve unlocked the secret to getting past this feeling of being stuck. In my videos I show you how to take complex problems and break them down into smaller, more manageable “byte sized” pieces.

I am moving to a new house that I just bought. And this video is exactly what I needed. Organization will be a huge part of my new set up. Thank you for designing these, sharing the links and showing the final product. I will indeed use this desing and mount it on the walls of my new setup
I might be knocking together a filament and tape rack based on this for my hackerspace soon. Very elegant solution.
I only have 2 spools of small wire so I will never need this - but it's still a fantastic idea!!! What great ingenuity!!!
Really like the holes and labels on the PVC for the wire storage!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Great job - thank you!
This is the first video I have watched of yours.
I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work.
Great design, thank you
I love this! I'm going to have to do something similar at work for all the wires we have. Great job dude!
Yeah, it's the same problem in professional environments too. Why does everyone store them with a pipe down the center? It just causes so many problems!
Some plastic filaments used for 3d printing will absorb water so will benefit from being in sealed dry box

Hey Zach, this is Lewin’s dad from Utah. Clever video as always. Hope you & the family are well.
Thanks Danny! Miss you guys
May have to build one of these...
I’ll be building my own interpretation of your project this weekend , I am a car audio guy and have 20-12 gauge wire spools and 1/0 to 8 gauge wire spools on a dowel system that is annoying to change out , this system simplifies changing out wire spools
Consider placing a measuring tape on the front of the electrical wiring one, if not used for the wires when cutting them, you'll always have a measuring device close when you have both hands full...
genial. podrias graduar el mismo tuvo de pvc para no tener que depender de una regla
I love the idea! Have you thought about adding French cleats?
That would totally be possible. I just don't use French cleats in my shop.
With your newly build CO2 laser cutter you could now make these yourself out of some 10mm or thicker acrylic or MDF sheets. Have you got the files for this in an SVG or vector file ?
do you think for more humid areas, that a plexiglass or acrylic "lid" that can fold down over the front with some desiccant pockets would keep it dry?
I think that's a great idea!
Question. When you pull the wire through the hole, does it tend to try and pull the spool from side to side as the wire unravels from one side to the next?
Not really. I have the spools pretty close together and there isn't a lot of unused space for them to shift.
Looks like the 3D filament rack has notch in the front for an additional support that you aren't using. Was that put into the design in case it was need and you found out it wasn't or did you not have the materials needed on hand and needed to get the project done?
I was wondering if anybody would spot that! You are exactly right. There is a notch there for an additional strip of MDF. This could also be useful for labels or a hole to feed filament through.
Make the brackets fit a French cleat.
This is awesome but next time leave the music out so we can hear you better 🙂
Make it usual to just put in to your 3d printer
