I was having to put weights inside near-empty spools to ensure they didn't rock-n-roll out of position. This is a simple press-fit stabaliser, that ensures the spool doesn't wander.
The two parts snap together, and then press into the BT tray.

interesting you've had major issues with light spools, What position are you running the rear idler?

Rear idler is in the 3rd rung from the back. Any further back and the spool bottoms out, and for me any further forward and I run the risk of the spool hitting the lid top.
The problem is with a near-empty spool, when pulling filament from the very side of the spool - it sometimes lifts the spool on one side, which makes it come out of track on the front rollers.
I've seen several other posts on here regarding adding weights to near empty spools, for this and to ensure they don't slip too much on the rollers. The slipping problem hasn't occurred for me - just jumping/wobbling spools.

Yea its really interesting, as I haven't seen that one yet. the weights one is nice, more so if you don't have slim spools like the ones you appear to be using.

The wider of my two sizes has fit all the spools I've tried so far, including bambu spools, eSun, Sunlo and those I got from inkstation (not sure of their brand).
