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
Recommended:
- filament guide at top corner can be made with zip-ties or something like this: https://www.printables.com/model/1184185-sovol-sv06plus-pfte-tube-clamp-and-twister-guide-f
- alternate roller to match the inner diameter of your spool such as: https://www.printables.com/model/1353582-sovol-sv06sv06-50mm-spool-adapter-for-hatchbox3d
- brace to tie PSU into Y-axis aluminum extrusion: https://www.printables.com/model/1288990-sovol-sv06-plus-power-supply-brace
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
