I've tried various filament clips and didn't feel fully content with any of them, so I decided to create my own. I noticed that the spools with the tiny hole on the rim can be used to insert the filament end and it works so well. Only down side is the filament end sticks out from the spool side, which causes crimping on the filament when placed into a confined box. So I've created this using inspirations of elements that I like from various other clips.
My requirements for the clip are:
I've included 3 clip types:
I think what I've come up with checks all the above requirements. I hope you will find it useful as well!
NOTE: Some Ender 3 owners have reported that the screw may be too tight when printed at 100% scale. Try scaling the screw down 97%.
