Yup. I've got about 150 hours on it already, and it's running like a champ. Most of that was printing the big chunks of the "doghouse" that clips to the side to hold full-size 1kg spools.
Got busy with some other stuff (taxes ugh)...I'll post up some pics maybe later today.
[EDIT] Ok, here's the pieces of the add-on, and a view of it assembled and attached:

(and no, those were NOT the first things I printed, there was a day or so of testing and prints of Benchy and the other Usual Suspects.)
Ok, this is getting annoying: can someone tell me the trick of getting pics from my phone to stop displaying sideways here? Don't have that problem with any camera I've owned...

Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

Looks like that came out nice. Did you design it too? If so what software do you use? I have nothing to offer on the photo display orientation issue.

Not my design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4899516
I did modify the spool holder to handle the wide (~3") spools Amazon Basics filament comes on. I'll post that up on Thingiverse as a "remix" when I get a chance.
Still looking for the right design tool: I've got 3D Builder, SolveSpace, OpenSCAD, and FreeCAD loaded up, just need to see which one's UI doesn't give me a headache.

There is metadata embedded in the photo specifying the orientation. I load the picture into an image editor, rotate, resize, and save as JPG and they always come out as expected. I use Photoshop but others should work.
If rotated and reposted dozens of pictures for people. I could rotate yours if you want.

The odd bit is that the EXIF orientation value is apparently ok at my end: it always displays in the correct orientation on the computer (Win10).
Somewhere in the vBulletin upload process, it gets resized...maybe the metadata gets stripped off then? (As I recall, we used to have to do that resizing ourselves, or the upload would simply fail. Not sure when that changed.)

Had a Makergear M2 in the past but could not afford this time around.
