I’m using an electronic dry cabinet—the kind meant for cameras—to keep my filament away from moisture. That camera? Oh, it’s in the closet right now. Anyway, since I have to store the spools upright, I can’t read the labels on the sides. So I made some easy-to-read tags.

They fit spools that are about 55mm to 64mm wide. Since I’ve bought filament from various manufacturers, the spool shapes vary quite a bit. Lately, I’ve been buying QiDi genuine filament a lot, so I think it would be better to space the protrusions further apart.

I’ve attached the STEP file in case it’s helpful to you, so feel free to design your own version.
