Printrbot Simple Metal Spool Holder for Aluminum Handle.
Update
I added a 60mm width, 80mm width, and 100mm width holder, so you can directly print the STL you need.
Photo is of a 90mm holder that I test printed.
The 100mm should fit almost all spools.
The 60mm fits the Hatchbox spools.
The 80mm should fit JustPLA spools.
Maybe 2-3mm clearance from the spool to axis motor underneath.
End Update
For using with the Printrbot Aluminum Handle for the Simple Metal.
I had issues with the Simple Metal Handle not fitting smaller Hatchbox spool sizes, so this fixes that while spacing the spool from the printer body.
This has sunken screw holes and fits the stock metal handle screws.
60mm spool width, holds Hatchbox 1.75mm PLA spools perfectly.
Angled towards the printer, so the spool leans against the printer and will not fall off.
Customizable spool width and angle and diameter in OpenSCAD file.
