3D model description

When I started 3D printing I figured out like everyone else that spools was a problem, since they come in differents size and had something in mind to design to try to enhance the filament holder, but I had tons of things to print before.
When I checked Thingiverse about spool filaments I found PHIL that was a similar design of what I had in mind (idea came with the ANET A8 spool holder that could almost handle this) and I finally took time for it and downloaded/printed to find out that it wasnt working (yeah Ill read comments before now) :/ so, back to work.

There is my vision of an working universal spool holder fully printed.
I uploaded videos to show it can work with new and almost empty spool, with 2 positions, upward and downward.

Additionally it should be PHIL compatible, which mean that you can print Pins and Spools only to put them on.

Printing :
Print pins vertically and spool horizontaly to limit friction when assembled.

Assembly:
Once printed, clean all the pieces.
For optimal use, inside spool can be sanded but not necessary if your printing is good.
Fit the pins in spools and snap them fully in stand.

Attach them to...something, desk, wood, whatever with screws and ajust them according your filament spool using the slider.
A guide is not necessary but can be used, Ill upload one soon as an update.
