Anycubic i3 Mega S Spool Holder

I don't like the stock spool holder that comes with the Anycubic i3 Mega S as this one has to much friction. Looking on thingiverse I came across this: design from Novaklast which i like but i wanted some minor changes to it as when you mount this one, the spool holder will hang over to the right a little bit which might result in falling off during long printing sessions.

So i decided to create my own inspired on this design where the mounting bracket has a slight angle to the left so when a spool is mounted it levels out horizontally. I also redesigned the the spool cylinder so the bearings cannot be pushed right through it which makes mounting a bit easier and sturdier.

Edit: I added a v2 version of the filement spool holder mount (filament_spool_holder_mount_5pct_angle_v2) which is a bit sturdier.
