Description

A tiny spool‑hole end‑lock that keeps your filament tip from slipping back inside the spool.
Just snap it onto the outside of the spool hole, push the filament end in, and it stays put.
Fast to print, easy to use, and works on any standard 1.75mm filament.

Note: This model can be resized with the STEP file available.


How It Works

  • Hooks onto the outside of the spool hole

  • Two tabs stop it from falling inside

  • Tight center grip holds the filament tip securely

  • Prevents unraveling, loose ends, and spool mess

  • Great for storage or quick filament swaps


Print Settings

  • Material: PLA, PLA+, PETG, and others like these.

  • Layer Height: 0.2 mm

  • Walls / Perimeters: 3

  • Infill: 25%

  • Supports: None

  • Brim: Not needed

  • Print Time: ~1–3 minutes

  • Orientation: Flat on the bed

  • No post‑processing required


Why This Works

  • Tiny and efficient

  • Strong snap fit

  • No supports

  • No wasted filament

  • Reliable grip on the filament tip

  • Fits most spool hole sizes
