Ultimate Spool Holder Support Frame (Add-on)

thingiverse

This is an optional add-on for ["TUSH - The Ultime Spool Holder" by filamentry](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2047554) that helps to keep the two tracks from sliding around or knocking over as you are unloading/loading filament. It is designed for average size 1kg (2.2lb) filament reels. I love filamentry's spool holding solution as it is much easier (IMO) for the filament reel to rotate. However, I got tired of them sliding around or tipping over as I was trying to load the reel on top of them. So I threw this together as a solution that has been working great. This grabs onto the two pieces and holds them at the average distance of a 1kg reel. It keeps them at the right distance, keeps them from tipping over, and holds the two printed halves of each piece (in case the glue, or however else you secured the tracks together, becomes weak or gives out) together. If you need to use them on a larger reel (ie, 2kg) that is wider than your average 1kg reel, the TUSH holders can pop right out and you can use them like normal for those situations (without this frame). So you have options to work with vs making this a permanent addon that does come off. I shared it with some friends/family, so I figured I might as well post it for everyone :)
