· Great solution for use of big spools (2.2 kg)
IMHO the spoolholder on the UM2+ is rather poor. Even some of the 1kg spools don't fit properly, the darn thing was squeaking and the filament ended up rubbing either against the spool or the feeder intake or both. With one type of spools (esun i think it was) the filament would get dragged off the spool and fall in the void between spool and the back wall.
I was not happy about all this.
Now, the big 2kg holder in frederiekpascals post was a bit overkill for me, but I ended up buying something similar to IRobertI's spool holder (Youmagine) ) at 3dprinterstore24.de and am very happy with it.
Bought it instead of printing IRobertIs mostly because I only have PLA and no bearings, rods, nuts or anything and the price seemed fair and I needed to order the UltiTop hood from them as well.
