Needed to move my printer back against the wall so the rear spool holders had to come off. Yes I know this is an old printer, but it prints TPU/TPE so very nicely. My solution was to find a way to use the original spool holders, but relocate them to the side and use the existing holes in the printer to mount the hardware. I haven't tested this, but I believe you can also mount these on the back side if you want. I'm also going to get around to printing one that will overlap and share the same center holes so you can put both spools on the same side. I don't print dual on this printer any more so it wasn't a priority. If someone wants this, just ping me and I'll design it.

These print very easy and I only used supports on the spool holder inside hole. You will need to run down to the hardware store and get some longer M4 and M3 bolts to make it through the mounting plates. I then got some longer (6mm) 1/4" PTFE tubing to run from the holder to the back then up into the print head.
