Modular Thread & Yarn Spool Holder

UPDATE 3/28/25 - Added print profile for a version of the struts that has removable/replaceable pegs. Tight tolerances, but allows you to replace broken pegs and remove them for easier transport/storage!

 

This 3D-printable modular thread spool holder is designed for durability, easy printing, and expandability. Organize your thread spools and bobbins on this simple desktop holder.

 

Looking for a similar shelf to hold other small sewing bits or anything similar, check out my ModuTier - Modular Display Shelf, which can also hold spools on the recessed shelf version in a different way! The shelves from this model should fit in those side pieces if you want a perfectly vertical spool holder!

 

Unlike previous designs where pegs could snap under stress, this version is optimized for strength while maintaining a fast, support-minimized print on standard Bambu Lab plates.

 

A second print profile for a “middle” piece is designed to allow you to combine two sets of struts to expand the storage in one place. By printing this and an additional 5 struts, you can expand the holder as much as you want to hold more spools.

 

Key Features:
✅ Stronger Print Orientation – Printed horizontally to maximize layer adhesion, reducing weak points and preventing peg breakage.
✅ Reinforced Side Panels – A second rib adds extra structural integrity, making the frame much sturdier.
✅ Filleted Pegs – Smooth transitions minimize stress points, greatly reducing the risk of fractures.
✅ Minimal Supports, Faster Print – Efficient design reduces print time while maintaining strength.
✅ Modular & Expandable – Connect multiple units seamlessly to hold as many spools as needed (50, 75, or more!).

 

Designed for reliability and ease of use, this spool holder is perfect for sewing, embroidery, and crafting enthusiasts who need a sturdy, scalable storage solution.

 

Just print out both plates, snap them together and you're good to go! You can print the struts without using support material but it takes significantly longer and will result in very weak pegs that can easily break. I will include a print profile for that as well, but be warned, the standard version with supports is far superior and worth the little support material.

 

A1 mini print profile is available, just have to print each piece separately.
