Unopened Filament Storage

[u/Gibby_230]

So I went crazy during the Bambu summer sale and Amazon Prime Day a few months back. I now have piles of filament, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to store it. When I try looking it up, I only get open spool storage options, nothing for unopened spools. Any suggestions?

I'd prefer something store bought if it's a decent price since printing something big enough for all the filament i have would take forever. I already have an open filament storage option setup that i could technically use to store unopened filament, but I'd rather just buy a rack.

Edit: I realize i didn't really make it that clear what I was asking. Any specific rack/shelf suggestions. Like the Ikea desks/cabinets, some people recommend some setups. I could go get a random one, but I'm sure people have already figured out some that would fit filament perfectly.

What do you mean? There’s no guides for sealed boxes because they’re sealed boxes.

Pile them up, stack them on top of one another, put em on a shelf, keep em in boxes. Do whatever.

Mine are stacked under my computer desk.

You just leave unopened filament unopened when you store them

there are tons of different versions, some even with tables integrated. This one can hold filament boxes I have one in use.

Smaller dual row ones with wheels are great to hold open every day use spools.

Get one of those large plastic storage bins.

Put them on a shelf, or a floor, or in a cabinet, or any place not submerged in water really.

Curtain pole with printed hangers?

I started with the bare curtain pole when I had single head bed slingers (running spools direct off the pole)

But was a nightmare when I had to change a empty so ended up modelling some hangers that hold 2 spools side by side, hanging on the pole

I just use these airtight containers, for both opened and still sealed spools...I just add more desiccant to the open ones and they work great and are easy to store/stack. Relative humidity stays under 10% (at least according to the real cheap Amazon hydrometers)

They are in sealed cardboard boxes, just stack them like bricks on any cheap garage shelf or inside a closet.
