Flashforge Finder Overhead Spoolholder

UPDATE 09/06/2019 - NEW v2.0 DESIGN I've created an updated version of this design! Get the new design here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3680561 I was impressed by the spoolholder concept made by itech3dp (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2790290), but unfortunately, it didn't meet my requirements: - It must be able to hold ClasOhlson Universal 1kg filament spools with a center opening of 52.8mm, as well as the original Flashforge Finder 600gr spools with a center opening of 20mm. - It must be easy to print on the Flashforge Finder and simple to assemble/glue. - It requires sufficient clearance so that the raiser-legs don't rub against the extruder belt. - The raiser legs need a snug and exact fit where they clip onto the Finder, ensuring the structure stays in place without any "rocking back and forth". I therefore drew this spoolholder from scratch in Tinkercad, with lots of prototyping and trial-and-error testing. I finally got it right! Two drums are included, one for each size spool. Changing a spool is easy: just lift the drum out of the spoolholder. The smallest drum has a lowered spot on the middle, keeping the spool centered on the axle. If you make this design, I'd appreciate it if you could upload a picture of it! Enjoy!
