I couldn't find a spool holder that met the requirements for exactly what I was looking for, so I designed my own.
UPDATE: Added a bit more play to the rollers. Added a cap to the bearing stud to hold bearings in place. For best experience re-download and print the following:

Print instructions
I couldn't find a spool holder that met the requirements for exactly what I was looking for, so I designed my own. Three of the main requirements I was looking for are as follows:
- Vertical hanging to mount inside my enclosure (rather than on top) and remove the weight from my printer frame.
- Uses some form of roller or bearings rather than being dragged over a fixed arm like the basic spool holders.
3.Designed in a way that a spool (especially new ones) won't unwind and tangle.
In addition it feeds straight down so if something jerks on the filament for some reason it's not going anywhere.
For flexibility I made it so it could be side mounted or an included adapter can be printed for a rear mount.
Printed with no supports
Rollers are easily removable to fit larger spools up to 100mm wide.
I would print at least 3 perimeters wide, my standard on prints is 4 bottom layers and 5 top. Infill was 20% gyroid.
It just barely fits in the printable area on a Prusa bed. You'll have to disable the first layer perimeter skirt so it immediately starts printing after the purge line.
Screws Required:
1 M3x12-14 Screw and hex nut for the top of the holder
4 M3x12 screws and hex nuts for the center loop
4 M3x12-14 screws for attaching the bearing stud
Optional 4 M3x16mm long screws and hex nuts required for the horizontal mount adapter.
