I recently stumbled upon numerous spool holders, but none impressed me as much as this one after I made some improvements. First, I attached a filament tube holder boss at the top to keep the tube firmly in place. Then, I removed the little support structure that wraps around the front of the printer since it was not needed, wasted too much material and took extra time to print. There's one issue that still needs attention: the top hole should have been counterbored just like the bottom one. Edit 2/14/15: Revision C has finally been completed. After acquiring multiple spools in various sizes, I decided it was time for another update. I realized that my original design wasn't strong enough to handle large spools such as 2lb ones. To solve this problem, I strengthened the rib and made sure it can accommodate a 3.75" width spool comfortably. In addition, I got rid of the little nub that retained the spool and created a new retainer clip that securely holds any width spool in place using spring tension.
