I wanted to keep the filament into the enclosure 2.0 of my VCore 3.1 300x300 and this is what I came up with.
With Eva3 and a 4028 part cooling fan the maximum spool width is 70mm per Ø200mm. It has to be used in combination with a filament guide like the one you see in the photo. For other configurations I suggest to print it with the lowest walls and infill in PLA just for test.
Just like an old RatRig spool holder I used the PTFE tubes (2x94mm) to have the spool spin freely and added some holes for Ø3mm pins in case you use thinner spools.
It is fixed to the frame using M6x12 screws and tnut. The washer shouldn't be necessary.
Suggested printing material ASA/ABS or stronger with 0.4 nozzle, 3 walls, 15% cubic infill or better parameters. I'm fine with ASA and the parameters listed.
Warning: watch out for the dimensions of your tool head configuration, maybe test it in PLA first, and for the cables path which, as you can see, in my case is tilted on a side.
