<p>NOTE : Check for newer and better(?) versions of this clip by searching for “filament clip mini curved” :</p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/search/all?q=filament%20clip%20mini%20curved">https://www.prusaprinters.org/search/all?q=filament%20clip%20mini%20curved</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is based on the profile of the "mini filament clip" - I copied the profile in OnShape 3D CAD, then stretched it out and curved it. The curve has two benefits:</p><ul><li>holds the filament more firmly</li><li>keeps the end of the filament from sticking out of the reel</li></ul><p>Note: The first time you use a clip it can be a bit hard to insert the filament; running a bit of filament through new clips helps.</p><p>The OnShape 3D CAD file can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ef9efdbfeb66be493ae66ab3/w/17f5f483d6fe4faa11029354/e/f1a2dfe2d9bb4f96d1149f61">https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ef9efdbfeb66be493ae66ab3/w/17f5f483d6fe4faa11029354/e/f1a2dfe2d9bb4f96d1149f61</a></p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Just use the .3mf files - one prints individual clips, the other prints four clips in succession.</p><p>Otherwise, in the slicer put the clip on one face and set perimeters to 5. Fast mode is adequate resolution for this item.</p>
