Vertical Spool Holder (modular) for Benchy Carousel (30-70mm, M6-M12 rods)
Description
A few days ago i designed my "Benchy Filament Sample Carousel & Sign-Generator" ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3037172 ) In order to build a stable spool-tree, i need something that... * holds them in place... * while every spool still can be rotated easily * add more spools later * can hold different spools with variable inner diameter * but the space between them is minimal * 3d printing optimized (most parts printable, material reduction) * threded rod used (also variable diameters) so i came up with the idea of... * a strong base, where a nut is glued in and that can hold M6-M12 threaded rods * spools with inner diameters between 30-70mm are compatible * the washers are independent from the threaded rods diameter... * so the <>-shaped connectors were born if you are not using the metric values for screws, then try printing one of the TEST-files i uploaded and use the one that fits best. alternatively you compare the values here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread#Spanner_(Wrench)_sizes sadly i'm still stuck on tinkercad with my designing skills. so i'm not able to create a customizable file for the washers. but i added a bunch of them growing by 2mm each (30mm, 32mm, ..., 68mm 70mm). Parts needed: * (*) 1x threaded rod - 0.5m-1m recommended (size: M6-M12) * (*) 2x nuts - or 1x nut and 1x butterfly nut * 1x base (model depends on the size of your rod - no phun intended) * 1x connector (same size as base) * (**) 1x connector * (**) 2x washer (model depends on the inner diameter of the spool) (*) = not printed (**) = per additional spool
