FlexiRack - Modular Filament Rack

This versatile and customizable filament storage solution is perfect for organizing your filament rolls and maximizing workspace efficiency. 

• Adjustable Height: The rack features slightly press-fit pilars that can be easily adjusted to accommodate filament rolls of different sizes.

   

• Filament Swatch Holders: Integrated holes in the pilars allow you to place filament swatches for easy material identification.

   

• Modular Design: Expand the rack as needed. The modular structure allows for endless customization and future upgrades.

   

• Slightly Press-Fit Pilars: The pilars are designed to be slightly press-fit, providing a secure connection while allowing for easy adjustments if needed.

   

• Box or Spool: This rack is designed to store spools, but you can also use it to store filament boxes if you prefer. Make sure the box dimensions are compatible with the available space.

   

• Space-Saving and Organized: Keep your filament neatly stored and your workspace clutter-free.

Perfect for makers who need a flexible, organized, and scalable storage solution for their filament collection!

Current parts list:

• "Holder" Plate: A plate (255mm x 220mm) with a 9mm connection point that can be placed between sections of the rack.
• “Pilar” Plate: Includes 4 pilars (76mm high).
• "Swatch" Plate: Contains 2 swatches that can be attached to the front pilars to display filament colors for easy identification.
• “Stand” Plate: Features 2 stands that serve as the base of the rack (255mm x 220mm), allowing you to skip printing the Holder for the bottom layer, as your floor or table already provides support.
• “Side support frame” Plate: An optional frame that slides into the pilars on the sides of the rack to provide extra stability if needed.

Future updates to come:

• Drawers
• Wall fixation (Wall anchors)
• Connector for linking towers side-by-side
• Different pillar sizes
• Top shelf (without the extruding pillar connections)
• Text swatches for labeling filament types (PLA, PETG, ABS, etc.)

Tips/FAQ for Printing:

• Plate Printing: Ensure your print bed is correctly aligned, as the "Plate" object uses almost the entire width of the bed. If the print is misaligned or extends off the surface, adjust the bed or slightly reposition the model in the slicer. Also, make sure the build plate is clean to ensure proper adhesion of the material.

   

• Single Pilar Printing: When printing a single pilar, reduce the outer layer speed to 30 mm/s to ensure a uniform print. Otherwise, you may experience varying layer speeds, which can affect the final print quality.

   

• Auxiliary Fan Adjustment: The "Designer" print profile automatically adjusts the auxiliary fan speed to 20% for a smoother finish on the side of the "Plate" object near the fan. If you're printing from the Bambu Handy app, this setting may not be applied, and you might need to adjust the fan speed manually for better results.

   

• Not Sturdy Enough: If, for any reason, you feel the construction isn’t stable or sturdy enough, you can add a few drops of glue before connecting the pilars for an even more secure fit.

   

• Use the print profile labeled "Designer" for the best possible outcome. I cannot guarantee the quality or correct functioning of other print profiles.
