Universal Filament Clip

thingiverse

My custom-made filament clip is crafted to fit seamlessly on any 200 mm filament spool with a diameter of 1 mm to 4 mm thickness. Every clip design I've discovered is too narrowly tailored for a specific size or brand of spool. They might work for some of my spools, but not all of them, which led me to create yet another clip that would fit every single one of my spools. If you find a spool it won't fit on, please don't hesitate to let me know. This design is slightly larger than most clips, but still incredibly affordable at less than $0.10. The extra size allows for a wide range of spool thicknesses and makes it effortless to put on and remove the clip. To print this design, you'll need to add supports between the sides where the spool sits. This was a deliberate trade-off to achieve the universal fit. When selecting Everywhere for supports in your slicing software, that's exactly where they will be generated. No need to block supports or take any further action – simply break them free and push the clip point back while pulling out the support. There are two versions of this design available: one specifically for 1.75 mm filament and another for 2.85 mm filament. If you've found this design useful, please consider donating what you think it's worth to my PayPal account at paypal.me. Your contribution will help offset the time I invested in creating this custom clip. Thanks for your support!
