I highly recommend this alternative spool holder. You do have to have room next to the printer but the filament feeds in straight to the extruder. Picked up the bearings cheap on Amazon.

I may switch to that when I go with the enclosure and mount the spool on top. I looked at it and have the files. I don't have space to the side and the one I went with just screwed into the stock hole. They use the same bearings (it is like 7 bucks for 10 of them). This is the one I had in mind when I said "there are other designs"
Hey SSgt,
Did you print out all the 7 files ? I see that some files could be modified. Can you please explain. I want to print out the file. Just need some help. Thanks. Al
You use 6 of them. There is "main barrel" and "main barrel long" and you choose whether you want the long one or the standard one. I use the standard one and it has about an inch left with normal spools. I have multiple brands of filament and it is fine with all of them.
