Printable labels and clips for your filament rack
Ever wished you could label the spools on your rack without laying out the letters in the slicer or fiddling with an SVG cutout? Now you can!
Just fill in your filament details, and Filabels will cut and resize the letters to fit.
- Choose your pole diameter.
- Enter the brand, filament type, color / finish, and optional hex color.
- Download the label and the clip, and get printing.
The generator is loading. When it is ready, set the brand, filament type, color, and pole diameter, then preview the label and download the STL files.
Quality
Steps in the honeycomb are 0.10 mm apart, but for faster printing, 0.15 mm works fine.
Walls
Infill
Supports
Bed adhesion (clip only)
The clip needs a wide brim so it won't tip over. Leave the label without one.

Tips
If you are printing a dark or light colored label and have a multi-nozzle printer, paint the text floors a contrasting color.
If you're getting holes or gaps on the label's bottom layer, try slowing down your print speed, and/or tightening your Arachne wall settings.
If the clip won't seat in the label, print the sizing test first. The download includes three separate pieces: a plug, the original short-wall socket, and a full-height socket with the snap indent. Print the plug and either socket to check how your printer handles the rail fit.
What is this?
I got tired of having to stencil text onto this spool label model every time I bought a new filament, so I built a tool that generates the text instead. After popular demand, I've now made Filabels, so you can all get the same full filament out of this tool as I do.
How do I use it?
If you have a rod/pole filament shelf, choose the size that matches your pole diameter, fill in the brand, type, and color, and download your .stl file. The clip grips onto the pole, and the interchangeable labels attach to the clip. Don't have a rod/pole filament shelf? You might not get as much out of this tool as I do.
What do I download?
Download STL gives you a ZIP with two STL files. Choose Download 3MF from its dropdown instead for a Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer project with both parts already oriented and configured for your printer. The label has the brand, type, and color cut into the face, with a decorative honeycomb behind the letters. The clip is sized for the pole you picked. Print the clip when you set up a shelf, and print a new label whenever a spool changes.
Can I share or sell these?
The files are free to print and share if you credit Filabels. Don't sell them or claim you designed them. Terms
How do I print them?
Print the label face down so the letters sit on the bed. Print the clip on its end. A 0.10 mm layer height keeps the letter floors clean. 0.15 mm is enough for the clip if you want it done faster. On a multi-nozzle printer, paint the letter floors a contrasting color. The recommended slicer options match the thin walls in the honeycomb.
What is the honeycomb?
It is purely decorative.
The letters are really hard to read.
Your best bet is if you have a multi-nozzle printer, paint the letter floors a contrasting color. Otherwise, you could try a wet chalk marker, fill in the letters, and wash the face of the label with a damp cloth.
