This is a "universal" holder that spins on to your filament spool centering it on an 8 mm rod - as found in the Rigidbot. It's a variation on several similar designs on Thingiverse. There's sufficient slop in the threads that it should connect smoothly after printing. It's in two pieces, making it a little easier to put together than a three piece (two ends and a threaded rod) design.
Inspired by http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:940762 who has a three piece design, where at least with my printer the clearances were very tight.
ADDED: Versions 4 and 5 are for where you need a shorter rod.
ADDED Version 8(fat) are short wide ones for spools with big holes (like Sunlu)
I use this in conjunction with my clip-on filament feed http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1570573
The combo prevent tangles and misfeeds.
