Super simple dual filament spool holder for Rostock Max

Made these little guys up to hold dual filaments on the Rostock Max stock mount. Worked great for ages till I got a Polybox.
Found other filament spool feeders/holders online but they were mostly way OTT things taking ages to print and tons of plastic.
These will not!
Just use a 12mm tube (carbon fiber tube pictured) between the two stock towers on the Rostock Max. I put some tape on the end to ensure the filament spools didnt slide off.
You could print a 12mm tube too but best to use something slidey and premade like the carbon fiber or plumbing pipe.
0.20 mm layer height should be fine.
Ive suppled 3 files:
"Larger Spacing Complete Dual Filament spool tube adapter" = Complete unit, print with supports, preset to slide (tightly) onto Rostock filament holder.
"2nd half Dual Filament spool tube adapter" & "1st half Dual Filament spool tube adapter" = two parts, screw or glue together, likely doesnt need supports and can be tailored to different widths for clamping on other things.
