I got inspired by this model to create my own design for turning empty reflow spools into useful containers.
The whole thing consists of 3 parts, more about the assembly can be found below.

Here are a few specifications:

  • easy opening/closing of the box
  • thin parts: very little material needed
  • easy and fast printing with filament rests
  • modern design: fits perfect in every room

How to assemble it:

  1. cut off the side parts of the reflow spool and remove glue and cardboard scraps
  2. press the bottom part tight in the core
  3. glue in the upper part with the thread (hot glue is perfect)
  4. fill your new container and screw the lid on
  5. Have fun and share your print with us!

I am currently working on a second version to make the lock a bit simpler and to increase the material usage. Please feel free to share your improvements and remixes!

happy printing and reusing! ;)

Print instructions

  • 0,4mm nozzle
  • 0,2mm layer height
