Spool Storage Boxes

This model was designed by Skalla_J and reposted as permitted by their CC-BY license.

Original description: Are you tired of throwing away empty filament spools? This project allows you to re-purpose them instead of recycling. It is designed for the Inland filament spools from Micro Center.

A goal of my project was to not only create boxes that fit in the spools, but to make a storage system that is stackable and portable. I also wanted to make drilling the holes for the hinges easy and repeatable.

The files contained here are:

  1. 'Reel Box' - you will need four of these per spool.
  2. 'Joiners' - two parts, one for the top of the hole in one reel and the bottom of the hole in the other.
  3. 'Handle' - two parts, an adapter and the handle.
  4. 'Drilling Guide' - assures holes are located where they belong.

There is at least one other project of this type on Thingiverse ("Spool drawer organizer" by Tanatof). I only discovered it a few days ago. Hence, my project is not a copy of that one, but I am happy to see that we have some similar features. Props to Tanatof for a great, attractive design.

For what is worth, there is a parametric implementation in OpenSCAD https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3110569
