Minimal Filament Clip

thingiverse

EDIT: Due to the fact that owning 3mm filament is beyond my current capabilities, I was unable to put it to the test, making the 3mm filament clip purely theoretical at this stage. If someone manages to download and try it out, I'd be grateful for the results. I wasn't completely satisfied with some of the filament clips I had tried in the past, as they consistently failed to grip the filament or kept falling off the reel due to my diverse collection of filaments from various brands. After several hours of printing and testing, I'm proud to present a fast printing and largely universal filament clip.
