Description
I wasn't quite satisfied with the original version of this clip, when I downloaded and tested it a few years ago. One of them broke, and I found the filament to not be held tight enough. Yet it seemed to have much more potential than all the other clips I found or designed before. So I made my own, strongly inspired from “Grandma's favorite filament clip” (by Extrutim), so let's call it a remix. This version has improved grip by bending the filament (this can cause moist PLA to break, sometimes). The deeper grooves allow to easily slip the clip along the filament to moove it to the loose end, or to give some length without loosening the entire spool (for tiny and quick prints). Also, the vertical tab makes the handling of this clip easier than the horizontal one, in my opinion. This clip is amazing, it's the only one I use since I first tested it. Thanks to @Extrutim for the idea ! 🙌 P.S: It's for 1.75 mm filament, just in case ;)
