Description
Trying to make something of myself in this 3D industry, so every single like, collect, download, and boost, make A WORLD of difference!
Thank you all for your support, you're all rockstars, and I hope you like my designs!
I remixed the filament rack made by @Maoirae so I could adapt it for use on my Multiboard tiles.
I really liked the original design, so not too many changes were made.
I mostly lengthened the height of the bracket to provide extra strength and durability, and added the Multiboard's push-fit connectors to the rear.
The original screw wells were retained, in order to still screw your wooden dowels to secure them even further.
Multiboard Filament Rack
This bracket is made to hold (2) 1" wooden dowel rods, available at most major retailers and home improvement stores.
Included on the print profile are a few variants of the bracket.
- Dual color bracket (does not need a prime pillar)
- Single color bracket
Standard & Heavy duty Multiboard snaps are included
While screwing in the dowels can stop them from moving around too much, the dowels generally stay put with the weight of the filament rolls, so I've marked the screws as an optional step.
Parts Needed
- (2) 1" diameter wooden dowel rods (Length is up to you)
- [OPTIONAL] (4) ½" small fastening screws (5x13mm)
Installation Instructions
0. (optional) Screw the wooden dowels onto the brackets using small wood screws. I used a small ½" screw. Drilling a small pilot hole in the dowel before putting the screw in will help to avoid splitting the dowel.
- Attach the heavy duty weight bearing snaps to the push-fit connector on the top of the bracket (dowel end). Screw in a small-thread T-Bolt in the push fit connector, to keep the weight bearing snap from slipping off.
- Attach the standard snaps to the push-fit connectors on the bottom of the bracket.
- Place the brackets into the multiboard tiles. You'll have to insert the top snaps first at a slight angle, so the hooks on the snap grab the back of the tile.
- Once the top snaps are lined up, you can rotate the rack down, allowing the bottom snaps to connect to the MB tiles, and the top snaps to lock all the way into place.
- When both the top and the bottom snaps are fully snapped in and connected, you're all set!
I hope you find this design of great use, like I do, and thank YOU for being part of our amazing Makerworld community!
