For this project you will need to print all the parts twice (left and right side, front and back roller). You will also need 4 bearings (608Z) for the rollers. These are the same bearings that are used in the older Prusa MINI+ spoolholder design.
The bottom bearing slots on the rollers need to be supported. All the other parts can be printed without supports. To increase the strength of the parts, consider printing with 3 perimeters instead of the default 2. I would recommend using PETG for increased durability, however PLA should work alright as well.
Once all the parts are printed and cleaned up, start the assembly by gently pushing the bearings in place in the rollers. The bearings should be flush with the surface of the rollers.
For the simplest mounting of the side panels, lay one of them on the table, put on it the two rollers, and finish the step by inserting the other panel on the top.
Make sure that the cutouts on both panels are facing in the same direction. If not, reposition the panels, so the assembly will look similar to the picture below.
(OPTIONAL) To prevent the side panels from moving apart as the filament spools will spin on the rollers, you can install the two connector rods at the bottom of them.
Install the decorative rings on the sides, and the filament holder is ready to use :)
