YiBOX - Rotary Filament Holder - Filament Storage Ferris Wheel
Print Profile(4)
Description
This is a rotating filament rack for centralized storage and easy access
This storage rack resembles a Ferris wheel structure, consisting of two A-frame stands and two rotating triple cantilevers that drive three trays. Each tray can hold three filament spools, for a total capacity of 9 spools
Update record
Configuration 3 Universal Tray Version 1.1: Fixed the hole error on Beam 2
The main hanger integrates a 6004 bearing and a ratchet, which, combined with the pawl on the cantilever, allows it to rotate only counter-clockwise
The two main hangers are connected by a hexagonal shaft, allowing them to rotate synchronously. They are secured to the main stand's bearings with M4 screws, ensuring the entire crossbeam can easily bear 12KG of filament weight
The tray consists of side panels and crossbeams, all flat-printed to ensure fundamental structural strength. Connected by M3-12 screws, each tray can hold 3 new filament spools with almost no deformation
The trays are secured in the main rotating frame's 608 bearings with M3-15 screws. Metal 608 bearings are recommended over printed versions for smoother operation, ensuring they remain vertically downward at all times
Therefore, the hanger has a clockwise limit, so it is necessary to try and keep the weight of the three trays balanced to prevent rapid rotational descent due to gravity
(This is also why it needs to rotate counter-clockwise. The heaviest tray, once rotated to the highest position, will cause the entire hanger to rotate forward. At this point, you can hold it with your hand to let it descend to the bottom, or rotate it to the back)
To enhance the versatility of this rack, a tray box version has been specially developed. Besides storing filament, it can also store other items, such as tools or other miscellaneous items

Configuration 1: Main stand disassembled version: Suitable for models the size of A1\P1\P2 (Recommended filament PETG)
Configuration 2: Main stand PIP version: Suitable for H series models (Recommended filament PETG)
Configuration 3: Universal tray version (Recommended filament PETG)
Configuration 4: Universal tray box version (Due to the relatively extreme overhang angle design, PLA is recommended)
Choose the main stand configuration according to your printer model. Choose trays and tray boxes according to your needs, a total of three are needed, you can select them individually or mix and match
