'Use as you want' Filament Clip

NEW VERSION AVAILABLE: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/use-as-you-want-v2-filament-clip Yet, another filament clip on Thingiverse. Model is designed for 1.75mm filaments. If you want to use it with 3mm filaments, you can easily resize it to 171-172%. Small Easy to use Fast Universal Use as you want: - On spool side - Holding two with 'teeth' - Holding one with 'teeth' and one or two with hook - recommended, uses least space - Etc. If you will use it on spool side, it can no longer work with pure filament (can warp too much) so I recommend using one part to only one option all the time. Not tested for long periods. PLA was used for this model. If you experience problems, try using PET, which should last longer. Final version of part with a hole was not tested. Previous version was too small but I made the hole a little larger. If it is still too small, let me know. This clip version will be still useful anyway (but without using a hole, of course). Not tested with very thick spools. UPDATE 08.IV.2019 Added two new STLs with stronger versions. Little harder to use (needs more force to 'open') but will last longer. If first 'teeth' will merge a little on print just use sth thin to force open - I lowered the distance to hold filament stronger. UPDATE 31.V.2019 Removed two original files (it was too weak to use for longer time - still you can use 'strong' version). Added improved version (v2). It will last much longer but you can't use it on spool (so not like in original and 'strong'), its just for holding filament. It has reshaped decals too, for little easier use.
