MEET FiBo - The Filament Box!
Updates:
- Feb 1st, 2021: Found a small issue for the boxes with regular length. This is corrected, files are updated.
- Feb 3rd, 2021: Another issues was reported and fixed. New files are online. Also added a box for 90mm spools.
FiBo - Filament Box:
Designed to carry filament spools with 20cm maximum diamenter. They fit well for my "Das Filament" spools and also for the smaller original Dremel spools.
Features:
- 6 ball bearings to hold the spools (4 in Base, 2 in Lid to prevent spool movement)
- a groove to insert a 1mm thick rubber thread/cord to seal the box
- PTFE coupler in the front for filament guidance
- a slot on the front face to insert a small filament sample (FiBo Sample Card)
- fits perfectly on the FiBo Pipe Shelf!
- the base can be filled with silicagel to keep the filament dry
- Filament Plug (now in two versions)
- Rubber Cord Spool (to store your loose rubber cord)
- FiBo - Assembly Station (stores parts fot 6 FiBos)
- Available for different spool sizes and box lengths!
(additional spool sizes can be requested, but diameter is fixed to 20cm!)
FiBo - Pipe Shelf Mount:
Wall mount for 26mm pipies to store your FiBo boxes.
Required parts for one box:
- FiBo - Base (choose your size)
- FiBo - Lid (choose your size)
- FiBo - Clips (2x)
- FiBo - Filament Plug
- 6x Ball Bearings (inner diameter 8mm, outer diameter 22mm)
(https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00EPNN62M) - 4x M6x25 Screw + Stop Nuts
- ca. 60cm NBR rubber cord with 1mm diameter
(https://www.top-industrieteile.de/gummirundschnur-nbr-1-mm-meterware.html) - 1 M10 PTFE coupler
(https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07SKX5P9P) - ca. 8cm of PTFE tube

(the links contain the materials I use.buy wherever you want)
Required parts for the pipe shelf:
- FiBo - Pipel Shelf Mounts (as many as you need)
- 4x 6mm screws for each mount (and matching dowels, if required)
- 2x 26mm (3/4") aluminum pipe
I'm using different colors for each type of filament:
PLA: white box with anthracite clips
PETG: antracite box with white clips
I print all boxes with the following settings:
- Layer height: 0.2mm
- Shells/Perimeters: 2
- Bottom/Top Layers: 4
- Infill: 10%
Supports are required for:
- the "Ball Bearing Pins" in base and lid
- the recesses in the base
- the pipe shelf, if printed lying (what is suggested for strength)
- Depending on your printer's 'bridging skills' you should also add some supports to the Filament sample slot on the lids front
The Pipe Shelf Mounts should be printed stronger!
I used the following settings:
- Layer: 0,2mm
- Perimeters: 3
- Top/Bottom Layers: 6
- Infill: min. 50%
- Filament: PLA/PETG
Rubber Cord Spool and Assembly Station do not require any supports.
