I really liked the look of this spool holder and printed it out right away.
Something that I noticed upon installation was the slot to load the spool axle was angled rearward and a bit shallow for my liking. So I rotated that feature to vertical and lowered the bottom of the slot a couple of mm.
Also I changed up the chamfers to radii and added a locator to lock against the upper frame to take some of the load of the acrylic controller cover.
Finally I added bosses on the back side to accept a newly designed brace. This brace stabilizes one side with the other. A bit of sloppiness between the two is what I am experiencing. The brace keeps the holders apart by 100mm to the inside face.
