1.75mm Filament Clip

Prints (1)

Description

SummaryI have tried every filament clip I could find and there are some good ones but none fit all my criteria. Some of the common problems I ran into were: Too long to fit on full spool Not tight enough Easily dislodged when spools stacked next to each other I designed these to address those issues and so far they have been working very well. There is a 4mm wide version for MakerBot spools and a 5mm wide for other misc spools. Both are for 1.75mm filament. InstructionsI would recommend using a raft and going slow since these are small. I use one shell and a high fill, at least 30 - 50%. Getting the hole the exact right size is difficult, so you may need to drill it out.

These don't work with my Hatchbox spools. Worked on my Inland spools. Funny the PETG spool fit much better than the PLA spools. Might be good to have a bunch of these in both sizes for variations in the spools even from the same company.
