Filament spool shelf with an actually-pretty bracket

Most spool racks work… but look like a honeycomb parking garage.

This one is strong, practical, and actually pretty: ornamental vines + leaves, with flowery end caps.

Includes 2 shelves + washers + 4 end caps. The washers are important — they add compression and help prevent layer separation when mounting.

Show me your setup: how many spools, what colors, PETG or chaos? 😄

Disclaimer

Results depend on wall type/anchors, print quality, screws, and dowel strength. Use proper anchors and don’t mount into questionable walls unless you enjoy surprise gravity events.

Side note (yes, mandatory)

If you stumble upon one of my models and think, “Wow, this person needs a hobby… or a nap,” feel free to hit that like button. It’s the digital equivalent of a pat on the back. And if you’re feeling extra generous, you can buy me a coffee via my Ko-fi. Because let’s be real, those long nights of modeling don’t fuel themselves.
