New version available. Check my aacount. It uses long legs with spoon like ends and main body parts connect with pieces of filament. Lot easier to assemble and to keep it in 1 piece. This is my second attempt at the issue of spools falling off the AMS Lite spindles. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2645058-ams-lite-spool-retainer#profileId-2923223 My original design was good but I had hard time using it with some spools. There was interference between the retainer and adaptors I am using for large hole spools. This design effectively fixes this problem. There is no need for fasteners. Top part has posts with mushroom heads, bottom part has a key slots and notches to hold legs in place. Simply put legs in notches, insert top in to the bigger opening of key slots, squeeze whole assembly and rotate top part clockwise until is aligned with bottom. It might take some elbow grease. On couple of assemblies I had to work it all around, trying to get each pin to get in position and stay locked.
