(See pictures below for better understanding of how this works)
I used the tabs from this spool holder and created a low profile spool holder that uses the factory T-nuts and spool stand and lets the spool run parallel to the left leg of the printer. I did notice the filament dragging on the spool some so I also printed thing# 3508693 and it helps the filament go into the extruder nicely now at a 90 degree angle.
I have added a version with and without a light switch case because I have lights running down either side of the uprights that are controlled by an inline switch and I needed a place for it.
This will need supports if you print the one with the case, but the one without the case shouldn't need them and they should both be in the correct position to print already.
