Summary

I've found that the plastic spools of some brands of filament tend to get snagged on the hardware on the back of my P1P, causing the filament to stop feeding to the extruder (which, in turn, results in a failed print).

One solution would be to print a new/different spool holder and relocate the spool. I opted for a simpler fix in the form of a spacer that goes on the existing spool holder between the spool and the printer.

I've included a low polygon version and a high polygon version. Obviously, the high poly spacer looks better, but either will get the job done.
