Summary

In-spool 1.75mm filament clip.

UPDATE 2021.11.15 | Even thought I had over 7,000 downloads for these clips, I had a user post that the clips were a little loose on his filament. As a result, I've posted a new v2 version of the clip with slightly smaller gaps. My suggestion is to start with this version, and if too tight you should use the original file.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION
I tested 10+ clips and didn't like any of them. Received something similar on a spool of Solutech filament I purchased - theirs were more difficult to handle due to their overall smaller size, so I thought I would design my own clip modeled after their basic design but larger (after the fact, I also found a couple of similar clips here on Thingiverse). Therefore, I do not claim this is an original design even though it is proving to be quite popular.

I like that it sets inside the spool and does not clip to the edge. Simply unrap one layer to attach the clip, wrap filement around again and attach. When in position, push filament down to secure. These are the absolute easiest on/off clips I've used.

Simple, but elegant solution. The only think you have to remember is to uninstall it when mounting the spool (I've forgotten a couple of times, but clip managed to pop off on its own during filament feed).
