Description
This is a design concept for a stand that holds multiple spools of plastic for easy dispensing and reloading. The idea is to use printable parts for the joints and a commonly found broom handle (1" diameter) for the support and axle.
One 5ft. broom handle cut up into 5x1ft sections should produce a stand like the one pictured. If you want to go bigger, you will need more than one broom handle. Also, the feet have features for adding cross braces, if needed.
This is 100% un-tested, and I wont be able to start printing until the end of March. If anyone would like to test out the tolerances/stability, feel free. Any documentation of your findings would be greatly appreciated.
