Here are two STL files for the rotating part: (Feel free to use, modify or do whatever you like.)
Recommended to remove burrs etc from the hole where from the filament goes through to reduce friction.
I will post the other part when i get it really working.
My intention here is to put the reel on the table / right side of printer with some reel-support-rolling-thing-dunno-yet and allow it to unreel stragiht up, so to minimise tangling.

Very awesome solution to guide the filament. Hope to print it out soon.
I'm working on my reel-support thing now. First half printed - it took over 2 hours, and 4 hours of tweaking to get it started properly. There is a section on bed where the first layer does not stick... i even replaced kapton tapes with clean ones (had sanded them for ABS printing) - no help - same spot fails.
But anyways here it is: It has the press-fit technology ape'd from tweezers holder

Is your printbed warped? Mine was. Cant be sure if it was my doing or problem in the production, but I got it sorted after I mounted a dial indicator to the extruder.
The bed bowed down between the tbo bolts for about 0.4mm and the other corners was twisted about 0.7mm measured from corner to corner

did you manage to "re-align" it ? or you had to change it ?

Missing from the photo is another version of cleaning cloth holder, which fits in the end of PTFE tube. Just fill it with your favorite cleaning material (mine is bandage from first-aid kit)
Here are the STL files.

- You'll need longer M4xSomething for this. This will go together with the support part (not alone without modification)
