Finally worked out all the kinks with printing my Ultron helmet, so I started the print and sat by waiting for it to finish. Little did I realize that the print takes a bit more than 1kg of filament. So I ordered a 2kg spool of filament. I expected said spool to be wider than a normal spool. What I didn't expect was for it to be larger in diameter. So I needed a spool holder capable of holding the larger spool. Pulled up Fusion 3D, took some measurements, and voila - a spool holder large enough to hold a 2kg spool of filament.

Notes:

From printing it, a raft (and supports) is only really necessary on the main crossbar element. Not sure if it's something with my printer or something, but somewhere between a quarter and three quarters the way through the print, the crossbar would pull away from the bed and it was all down hill from there. Threw a nice sized raft on it and that seemed to do the trick. Everything else should be good.
