These two files comprise the top and bottom (or inside & outside parts) to hold a PVC rod or axle to hold standard filament spools inside a 20 quart Hefty Protect box.
They are designed to take a 1.5 inch PVC pipe (smaller would probably also work) available at most hardware stores.
They have an 87 degree offset for the slope of the side of the box, so the rod will sit flat between them. The notch at the top (so it should point up) is to aid in alignment, as the holes are not entirely symmetrical. And also to make sure the angles line up.
The screws and nuts are the m3x20 (if I recall correctly) screws (though of course you could go longer) and m3 nuts. For best results we recommend locking nuts.
They will probably work fine with 15%-20% infill, but we printed them solid. You shouldn't need supports for these.
You will need two each of the top an bottom, one for each side of the box. We centered them on the side of the box, with 4.5 inches between the bottom of the out
