Another filament contraption

I wanted my spools on top of my cabinet so I designed and printed this thing. The weighted arms fall and take up the slack of the filament when unloading. In the pick below, filaments 1 and 5 have not been used since loading. The slack on them will look like the others once they are used in a print. Filament 5 is being printed in the pic.
