Placing the 1 kg spool lower down reduces the impact of having such a heavy item so far from the printer's centre of gravity. As a bonus, it allows one to see at a glance how much filament is left on the spool, instead of having to crane one's neck to view the filament from the side.

This prints in two extremely simple parts, with no need for supports of any kind. The smaller part (the “clip”) is then superglued to the main part. Couldn't be easier, and no need to go scratching in your parts box for tiny screws.
