IKEA KALLAX Spool storage system (200 mm)

Store your spools in your IKEA KALLAX using this simple holder.

You can store up to two rows of 200 mm spools inside a single KALLAX cell. Stores up to 5 spools per row, for a total of 10 per KALLAX cell. (depends on the width of your spools).

Print instructions

Print in the upright position, peg facing the top. Use whatever settings you like, but keep some rigidity to assemble it later.

For guides, use whatever filament you have. 

Tolerances should allow for a friction fit between the two parts, and for some leeway inside the KALLAX. 

Assembly instruction

Take one "holder"_pos" and one “holder_neg” and assemble them using the peg and the hole. A dab of superglue will help.

To fix onto your shelf, use double face tape (the thick kind). Apply one piece of tape in the middle and on the edges of the bottom of the assembled part. 

Positioning the holders

Two ways of doing it :

• Tape it inside your KALLAX shelf cell, 15-16 mm from the edge of the cell. Space them 80 mm.
• Use the provided guides to align them (uses around 15g of filament). Push the guides sideways until they rest against the sides of the cell (see attached picture). Secure holders using tape.

Remember to always make the "round" side face toward the spool edge. (see attached pictures).
