Prusament clip (filament clip)

thingiverse

I recently acquired a Prusa i3 mk3 and after printing some filament clips, I discovered they were way too large for the Prusament, so I created one in Fusion 360. Here it is, and it works well, providing a snug fit that holds the filament securely in place. It functions with both old and new honeycomb-style filaments (see attached image). Feel free to share your thoughts; this is one of my first designs, so it may not be perfect. Printing takes 25 minutes, but reducing infill density could significantly decrease print time. I created a V2 shorter version that will be easier to clip onto when you have more filament remaining. Print times for the shorter version with 10% infill are as follows: 1 piece: 26 minutes 2 pieces: 32 minutes 4 pieces: 56 minutes 6 pieces: 1 hour, 21 minutes 8 pieces: 1 hour, 52 minutes 10 pieces: 2 hours, 21 minutes 12 pieces: 2 hours, 49 minutes The most efficient approach is to print 6 of them at a time; this reduces the total printing time for one piece to approximately 808 seconds.
