Filament Clip V2 | Prusa, Paper, Bambo Labs

Filament clip version 2 … small and simple

Since no existing clip worked for me, I created the first version of my own clip. Some users were a bit bothered by the fact that the filament had to be trimmed so that it wasn't too thick at the end. That's why I created this second version.

Instructions for use: Insert the clip into the appropriate place on the spool and then clip the filament.

Clip Features:

• easy fixing of the filament - no need to attach to the previous winding • minimal filament consumption (about 1g) • does not deform/bend the filament • does not interfere with spool stacking • no need to trim the filament

Explanation of different clips:

• Prusa-spool clip with lock* - for spool with a thickness of about 4,2mm (plastic spool from Prusa) • Paper-spool clip - for spool with a thickness of about 3mm (paper spool, e.g. Elegoo) • Bambu-reusable-spool clip - for Bambu Labs reusable spool with a thickness of about 3,5mm and lip on the inside of the spool

* The Prusa-spool clip has a lock for a tighter fit on the spool. Slight pressure must be overcome during insertion and then moved around the circumference of the spool as needed to make the lock click.

The clip is very flexible, so you can use a Paper clip on a Prusa spool, but if you choose the right type, it will fit better. If you need a different size, just write me your spool width.
