Magnetic Mount Spool Holder

Warning: I built this in English, so watch your step. You'll probably need to expand it in your slicer. Spool holders seem like some kind of initiation rite. I struggled to find a spool holder that clicked with me. The one I finally chose didn't work well when the filament was running low on the spool - it would get lifted up off the bearings and land sideways on the table. Our cart for the Ultimaker 2 has steel side panels, and I like having the spool lower than the printer so that the filament can flow straight into the feeder. I considered adding a lazy Susan to the floor, but I wanted the cart to be self-contained, and I didn't want people tripping over it. This is designed specifically for Ultimaker brand filament. I tried something else and got hit-or-miss results, so I'm sticking with Ultimaker brand filament for now. Ironically, I printed this using the stuff I'd been having problems with - and it turned out fantastic.
