Spool holder arm size

Minor thing:

The diameter of the spool holder arm is too large to support Amazon's AMZ3D spools. By my measurements, the diameter for the spool holder is 37mm, and the ID of the AMZ3d spools is about 30mm. I think AMZ3D filament is popular in the US, so it would be nice if the arm could support it.

I ended up printing myself these https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2640009 , which have a 25mm diameter.

You could always try something like this:

I have them printed out and am waiting (somewhat patiently) for my printer delivery (late Feb).

I've used the similar https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1832235 on a MK2S, and ended up switching back to the Arm style. My filament spools all have different widths, so every time I loaded a new spool, I needed to move the holder. The new "arm" style that comes with the MK3 works best for me.
