A remix of Filament shelf - Filament Regal by Los_Fritzos: all credit for the original design to them. The only change is the rod sockets.

The original takes Ø20 mm dowels. This version takes the two halves of a single Everbilt adjustable closet rod(Home Depot SKU 1005 994 152, matte black, 48–72"). An adjustable closet rod is two telescoping aluminium tubes, so one ~$12 rod gives you both rods you need, and they happen to be two different diameters, which is why this remix has two different sockets:

Rod

Socket

Bore

Inner tube

Ø28.75 × 997 mm

A — near the wall, the HIGH one

Ø29.05

Outer tube

Ø32.00 × 986 mm

B — at the arm tip, the LOW one

Ø32.30

Clearance is +0.30 mm on diameter, matching the original design's own convention (its Ø20.30 bore on a Ø20 dowel).

Changed

  • Socket A moved +4.0 mm outboard — at Ø29 the collar would otherwise cut into the third wall slot. All five slots stay full length. Rod spacing goes 162.06 → 158.16 mm.

  • The bosses grew past the original outline (unavoidable — the original collars were tangent to it), so each one is blended into the web/arm with a gusset rather than left as a step. Part grows 196.6 → 202.6 mm in X; Y and Z untouched, still fits any 220 mm bed.

  • Collar wall stays at the original 3.80 mm. $fn=128 on the bores, which matters: a tessellated hole is a polygon inscribed in the nominal circle, so at $fn=64 a Ø32.3 bore would lose 0.039 mm — 13% of the fit clearance, silently.

How much will it hold?

The near-wall rod carries ~83% of each spool's weight (the cradle is tilted), so it's the limiting one despite being the thinner tube. Everbilt rate the rod at 10 lb per linear foot ≈ 14.5 kg over this span:

  • 8–10 spools — comfortable

  • 12 spools — ~86% of rated, fine (that's what's in my photos)

  • 14 spools — at the rating

  • 16+ — over it

Calculated sag on 1 mm wall aluminium at 14 spools is 2.9 mm, and peak bending stress 30 MPa against 145+ MPa yield, so deflection isn't the limit — the rod's own rating is. No mid-span support needed; the original's middle piece exists for wooden dowels, which sag ~5× more.

The real weak link is neither the plastic nor the rod — bearing pressure on the printed socket is ~0.19 MPa against ~40 MPa for ABS, a 200× margin. It's the wall screws. Use studs or proper anchors.
