Spool holder for MMU2

The spool holders provided with the MMU2 often produce tangles and always introduce a lot of resistance into the filament feed. This filament holder uses a short piece of PTFE tube to avoid loose filament tangling around the spool and uses the axles that come with the MMU2 to make unspooling easy.

When placed above the printer, the split between the MMU2 PTFE tube and the one in the spool holder reliably absorbs the extra filament fed back during unloading.

I used a drill bit to fettle out the hole for the PTFE tube, then inserted a piece of PTFE tube about 3 cm long. There's a hole for an M3 set screw to hold the PTFE tube in place but I haven't needed it yet - the PTFE tube is a tight enough fit already.

Some rubber feet on the bottom might keep the spool holder from wandering around.
