Filament Spool Stand

Filament Spool Stand

Let the spool spin. Choose between 1 kg or 2 kg reels.

FROM $3.00

A free-wheeling stand that lets a spool turn instead of fighting the extruder — on the bench beside a printer, or feeding our Filament Winder. Four printed parts, no fasteners, all support-free.

Configure & buy

A reel that drags costs you something on every layer. Rather than resting on a bar, the spool is gripped between two threaded cones that pull it true on its own hub — a 250 g sample or a wide 2 kg reel, any boss from Ø41 to Ø66.

The shaft drops into open slots and gives line the moment it is asked. It stands level with our Filament Winder and shares the very same printed cone.

Highlights

250 g to 2 kg

Threaded cones self-center and clamp any hub from Ø41 to Ø66, at any width down to nothing.

Free-wheeling

The shaft turns in open-top slots, so the spool gives line the instant the extruder asks.

Pairs with the winder

Same spool-axis height, and the cone is the very same printed part.

Clips together, no fasteners

Two uprights clip into the base, then cone, spool, cone — then drop it in. Nothing to screw together and nothing to lose.

Support-free everywhere

All four parts arrive already posed to print clean, with no supports anywhere.

Carry our logo, pay less

Embossed saves 50¢, a 3-color inlay saves $1.00. It prints into the base, face up.

  • Print-ready 3MF platesEvery part laid out on plates packed to your printer's bed and sorted by filament color — open in your slicer and go.
  • Every STLThe individual part meshes as well, if you'd rather arrange the plates yourself.
  • A parts listA manifest of every part and how many of each, so you know exactly what you're printing.
  • An assembled 3D model in your colorsThe whole thing built and colored the way you configured it — your reference while you print and put it together.

We'd love it if you could help get the Big Mack's word out! Embossed cuts the mark into the surface, prints on any printer. 3-color prints it in our red, white and black and needs a multi-filament printer.

Price: $3.00 (one licensed file — $1.00 off for carrying our logo)

Add your printer

We size every model to your printer, so we need to know how big it can print. It’ll be saved for the next person with the same machine.

These are the printable sizes — the biggest part your printer can actually make, the numbers your slicer shows as the build volume. Not the bed or the removable plate, which are usually a little bigger.

Optional — build plate and printer-stand measurements

The build plate is the removable sheet you pop prints off; it’s usually a little bigger than the printable area. A plate rack is cut to the sheet, not the bed.

A printer stand is built around your printer’s feet. Give us all four and we can build you one — or skip them and add them later. Measure the BASE — the slab it stands on — not the machine’s widest point. Gantry legs, Z columns and X arms usually overhang the base and hold up nothing.

Where to measure your printer's feet Looking down on the printer's base with the front at the bottom. A is the full width of the base across the front. B is the diameter of one foot. C is from the base's front edge back to the center of the front foot. D is from the base's side edge in to that same center. FRONT rear feet — not needed A D C B
Looking down on the base, front at the bottom.

Choose your colors

Every model on the site opens in these three. Primary is the largest surface, secondary the part that contrasts with it, and tertiary the accent — feet, trim, the parts that tie it together.
