<p>Sunlu Spool Holders for the AMS Lite only (these are not needed for the regular AMS or if you plan to use the external spool holder, I know these are everywhere on Makerwolrd.  I've even printed a few myself but some were not as good as others and I had a few stick inside the spool hole and rip apart on exit.  So, I decided I might as well design my own rather than keep printing others that I don't like how they work.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I cannot claim full credit here as I saw a post of someone holding their Sunlu Spool on the AMS Lite using a set of wooden chopsticks.  I thought that was a genius idea and decided to make it a PLA printed reality.  I went and got some takeout, Mongolian Beef to be exact, and started designing.  I've added chain links to keep the sticks together and so far it is working perfect!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you find yourself printing a lot with Sunlu spools, these are a great addition to your toolset.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>36g filament for four sets (including supports, DO NOT forget supports) is a great deal less filament than I used to print minimal spool holders which didn't last after one spool.  Speaking of supports, I suggest Tree (auto) Organic on build plate only.  Happy printing!</p>
