Remix and Remix again...

I thought I was done with my new Ender3 Spool Holder based on the one posted by Butchja on thingiverse, but when I went to try it with some of my Tactlink spools, I found that the spool holder was simply swallowed up because the 75mm holes on the spools were too large for the spool holder.  It was a dumb thing not not have foreseen since my old spool holder had much larger ends.  So it was back to the ViaCAD V12 Pro drawing board...  It was not a very difficult change in concept but it still took a bit longer than I had hoped, but it is done.  I hope to get it printed in the next week but in the mean time it is available as a work in progress on Thingiverse here.  The pics of the printed version are the old type which has the too-small ends, the CAD images are the new version with 80mm end pieces.  I am really happy with the function of the spool holder otherwise and it uses easy to find 5/16-18 hardware, a couple washers, a pair of 608ZZ skate bearings and a 6" threaded rod (I used a 6" dual end threaded stud).
Update, this is done and looks great, but took me much longer than I expected.  Problem was that the first try at making it large enough for a spool with a 75mm hole worked but was not really great and required making the ends slightly larger.  So it was sort of a goldilocks situation but I finally got it just right :D
