I decided to completely redesign this spool holder myself with new measurements to accept the spool sprocket design from jadames : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2067525
It's not too wide so you can reuse the original threaded rod and the 4 nuts like shown in the photos above.
This design is straight to reduce stresses on the acrylic frame compared to this design : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2009565.
The measurements were taken on a 2017 Anet A6 frame, so do it at your own risk if you have an older or newer printer.

You will need support for the hooks.
Recommended infill : 30% of 3D infill (cube for example)
3 perimeters recommended for strength.
3 minimum top and bottom layers, 4 recommended.
Post-Printing
To install this spool holder you will need to disassemble your screen sandwich by first removing the rotary encoder knob. This spool holder replaces the original spacers between the frame and the screen PCB.
This is an older model of mine imported from Thingiverse
