This is the size spool I use (I'm using the winder as the spool holder as well, I just move the motor up and print from it). You can compare it to the size of the DaVinci spool that I took out of the cartridge that is next to it in the photo. I tried a larger spool that that, but it wouldn't wind evenly. I mainly print in natural ABS, so it saves me time to just keep the giant spool and print most things directly from it without taking it off the winder.
