As you can see from the photos, this stand has a very simple design. It can be set to work with spools slightly larger or smaller than standard 1kg thread spools. The main problem is that you have to adjust it to make sure the edges of the spool land squarely on the bearings. This requires all the nuts to be in the same place, which can be tedious. Getting this wrong can cause the spool to bind and ruin your print. Also, you need to make sure all the nuts are tight, otherwise it will wobble. A simple upgrade to improve this holder is to find some metal tubes to match the bearings. This gives you a continuous rolling surface between the two supports, allowing the stand to accommodate any coil size without the need for adjustment. There are many designs of 3D printed filament holders that look like this. But I think if you print them and buy the hardware needed it will be more expensive than this stand. So maybe it's better to just buy this stand and put some lights on it if you're having trouble.
