I got  better design that is completely hidden in the PVC here:  thingiverse.com/thing:62312

I saw this go up on thingiverse, but didn't see a post about it here. I never had an issue with the spool falling off, but I never want one either.

Printed at .3mm, great fit, under 1hr. I have added this to the SD wiki modifications page.
