I have my Ultimaker 2 on a small nightstand. I mounted the spool underneath the stand and the U2 on the very back edge of the stand. I printed a very smooth guide where the filament comes out of the back of the stand. It goes 13 inches straight up and into the feeder. For me it solved my under extrusion problem. My idea was to allow all the stresses that are rolled into the material when it is made to be relieved. I tried with an old roll of PLA that only had about 1 layer of wrap left on it(lots of stress)and it worked great. It also it may be just the fact that by going straight up I have reduced the friction. Was going to try running the filament over several rollers to see if it stress relieved the material and helped, but this works as is. While this does not help with the current location of the spool, just thought I would share.
