WEXCISE Narrow Shoe Rack Disappointment

If you purchased this WEXCISE Narrow Rack (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09Q678QVP) based on advice that it would be good for filament, only to find that it did not hold near what was expected, then we have something in common. Before anyone starts to argue, save it, I don't want or need to hear it. To me it was not secure after the 4th level unless I attached it to the wall, which defeats the whole point of having a free-standing shelf. However, I did not find this out until after the return window closed. So, I did what anyone with a 3D printer would do, I created a fix, which turned in to a full replacement of the level connectors.

My design, if you can call it that, is extremely simple. I prefer to leave my filament in the box, but do sometime have loose spools; this rack will hold either equally well. As the picture shows, I stopped at 5 levels, I might go higher if need be. I still have enough rods to go up a few more levels, but 50 spools is enough for this overflow rack.

The filenames are self-explanatory, the exceptions being the two “Angle Foot” and “Vertical Post”. These feet were made with a slight angle if your floor is not level or want the rack to lean back ever so slightly. I ended up not using them, but I thought I would include them. The Vertical Post was created since I thought I would not have enough vertical posts.
