Description
So I was looking for a nice, clean and cheap way to store my 40+ filaments spools.
I came up with a solution to fit a spool on two metal central heating tubes.
The tubes are mounted on what's called a 'F-System' flexible shelf/storage solution. It's sold all over the world, goes by the name of 'Duraline F-system' in some countries.
Cool thing is, you can swap any spool you want, without removing a whole tube of spools.
You could also run filament directly from this mount. Although I would advise my other design to prevent under extrusion (see the orange spool holders):

Added 3/4 inch version. Can't test this myself, so please leave a comment if there's a problem with it
What do you need?
3d printed brackets for use on these F-system hooks. I printed 9 in PETG.
DIY
Rafts: No
Supports: No
Resolution: 0.200
Infill: 40%
Notes:
I printed them in white PETG, use a higher infill to prevent cracks around the snap-fit for the pipes. No supports needed.
The wall side hole tends to break easily if there's too less infill, you could keep your hand on while snapping the pipe in, that works as well.
Designed this in like 50 minutes in OnShape.
Only had to redesign it once to accommodate for one partly thicker side of the hook, and to make it a bit longer to make this really sturdy.
