Ultra low profile filament clip 1.75mm

I designed this clip because this filament clip does a few things in combination that I haven't seen any other filament clip do to my satisfaction. - It is designed so it can stay permanently attached to the spool because the angled shape and low profile prevent filament from ever snagging on it. - Since it is permanently attached to the spool, it will always be there when you need it. - It takes up zero millimeters of space outside of the spool's original dimensions for maximum storage space efficiency. - It strains the filament less than the built in filament holes on most spools. To attach this, you simply glue the clip to the inside edge of the spool.You will need a strong adhesive you are confident in staying attached to your spool. I use 3M 300LSE transfer tape which is really good at sticking to plastics that a lot of other tapes don't stick to very well. 300LSE transfer tape does NOT stick to cardboard spools very well though. I still need to figure out what adhesive to use on those but I haven't bothered because the holes for clipping filament on the cardboard spools I've used seems to be a lot easier on the filament to avoid snapping it than the plastic spools.
