Simple brackets for storing filament in Sterilite 20Qt /19L Gasket Box. These are just for dry storage and not spooling out. Raising the spools up give space for desiccant underneath and enough width for 5 narrow spools (like eSun). The Sterilite 20Qt containers are narrower at the bottom and it's tight to get that 5th spool in without raising them up.

This design requires rods to span between brackets and hold up spools. I used wooden dowel rods and cable ties to hold them in place. This way I can dump the containers out without the rods falling out.

Notes: 

The model files are given in an upright orientation. Only the "left" side brackets are provided. You will need to mirror them (in X) to make the "right" side brackets. You will need two "left" and two "right" brackets. Once you have left and right pairs rotate them flat on the bed.

Post-Printing

Use the included jig to mark holes for the brackets on each side of the and then drill holes larger than the 4mm screws.

Hardware

Use M4 x16mm screws and M4 nuts. I used button socket cap screws and nylon lock nuts.

Rods and ties

At the height set by the provided jig the rods will need to be 336mm long. I used 3/4 inch dowel rods from my local hardware store.

There are slots in the brackets to accommodate 2.6mm wide cable ties.
