The 90° bend at the end of the original spool holder needs to be flattened. I used a bench vice, a hammer, and anvil. Aside from the print, you'll need some M4 screws and a nut:

  • 1x M4 nut
  • 2x M4 12mm or 14mm screws
  • 3x M4 8mm screws

Benefits of this approach:

  • less height
  • no weight on top plastic Z-brace
  • lower overall center of gravity 

 

Drawbacks of this approach:

  • permanent modification of the original spool holder by flattening out the 90° bend
  • added weight on PSU-side of z-axis potentially pulling frame out of alignment - mitigated with PSU→Y-axis brace
  • spool removes outward from side of printer so you need additional space in the X-direction or you need to unscrew the spool roller each time you swap spools - could be an issue for some narrow enclosures
