Sunlu rotary spool shelf - uses sunlu spools

Boost MeI design most of my prints when presented with a problem or find an issue that hasn't been solved by someone else already on maker world.
Also, I always endeavour to amend my designs if presented with a good idea or request.

This all takes time and sometimes lots of prototyping which comes out of my own pocket. So any boosts are enormously appreciated! 

Another use for the huge pile of sunlu spools building up. 

 

Features:

• Rotating base to access all parts of the storage.
• Sliding door
• Optional built in compartments.

• Can be stacked as high as you like. 

   

 

Parts to print:

1. Base piece x 1
2. Modular central column extender - roughly 1x extender per 1 spool but as you stack higher you may need 1-2 extra. 
3. Rotary base - either fully open or compartmented 1 per spool.
4. Back plate for outer ring in the rotary base and inner sliding door - 1 of each. 

 

To assemble slot the rotary plate onto the spool, insert both the back plate and the door into the inserts (back plate in the outer ring and door into the inner ring). Then attach the top of the spool. You may need to manipulate to insert the 2 pins on the back plate through the holes as seen below. This is important as it prevents the back plate rotating with the rotary shelf. 

IMPORTANT:

When printing the doors raft is enabled by default, as I had many failed prints during prototyping due to low plate contact. It does mean you need to remove the raft afterwards. Those with better adhering plates (I was using bambu textured) may be able to get away without raft. 

Supports are also needed for the central column extensions. 

 

Any feedback, suggestions or issues please get in touch! 

Happy to add in 2 door systems, doors that slide the other way, more compartments etc if there is a demand for it!
