Filament Storage for 25mm steel tube

Filament spools taking over your workspace?

This stand is a simple, strong and modular way to keep them under control.

Model is designed for 25 mm furniture tubes (chrome rails) and standard filament spools. I printed all parts in PET-G and the stand is already tested with full load.

Main features

• Holds 14 standard 1 kg spools per level
• Uses cheap 25 mm chrome furniture tubes (I used 1 m length)
• Tubes are easy to find and usually cost below 2 USD each
• Minimum print bed size: 250 × 250 mm
• Sturdy construction with M8x20 socket head screws (Allen)
• Clean, simple look that works in a workshop or living room corner
• You can build a compact stand or extend it by adding more levels

Hardware needed

• Furniture tubes:
•  
• 25 mm outer diameter, 1 m long
• 4 tubes = smallest 2-level version of the stand
•  
• Screws (M8x20 Allen / socket head):
•  
• 2-level stand (with feet and top ending): 20 screws total
• Each additional level: +8 screws
•  

Tubes should fit tightly into the printed parts – the screws only lock them in place and stop any movement.

Important note about tolerances

I recommend printing just one connector part first and testing it with your tube.

Every printer has slightly different tolerances and precision, so it’s better to check the fit before you commit to the full print.

Recommended printing

• Material: PET-G or ABS / ASA (for strength and temperature resistance)
• Perimeters: 3–4 walls
• Infill: 20–30% is enough for normal use
• Print bed: minimum 250 × 250 mm
• No supports needed for the main parts (depending on your setup)
