-The original pole mount appears designed for the vertical bars of the extrusion frame on the XL side panels. To be able to use the mounts, the filament spools for tool #4 and #5 must be removed to accommodate the location of the dowels. Using the horizontal tab pole mounts allows the whole soft filament holder setup to be shifted laterally away enough so that the spool holders and the filament spools for tool#4 and 5 can remain in place and be used.
-this was printed using the standard Prusa profile for Generic PETG, 0.4 nozzle
-I used wooden dowels instead of aluminum as the wood is more flexible and absorbs the vibrations from the rapid printhead movements instead of the aluminum transferring it to the spool reel.
-I didn't use the filament holder bearing and avoided having to wet sand the axle and other parts in contact. It rolls easily enough and the axle can be secured on the side mounts with a rubber band.
