I've almost always used spool holders with 608 bearings to reduce the drag when the filament is pulled off the spool. For my MK3(now MK4) printers I used a modded version of this one(https://www.printables.com/model/174620-filler-filament-holder)
I wanted something similar for the XL that would take the larger spools. I also needed something that would work with the 3dupfitters enclosure for the XL that would keep the acrylic sides pressed against the frame. So I created this one.
What to print:
Left-front x 2
Left-rear x 1
Right x 2
Spindle_r2 x 5 OR Spindle_r3 x 5 OR Spindle_r4 x 5
Each spindle uses two 608 bearings.
Update 2024/01/20, added a Spindle_r4 with even more taper that should make spools want to stay centered
Update 2024/01/18, added a Spindle_r3 with more taper that should make spools want to stay centered
