Description
As you probably know, filament clips are one of the most popular themes here at Printables. So why another version?
To understand, you should know my configuration.
I use the MMU2 with dry boxes and full PTFE tubing from the dry box through the buffer and MMU2 to the extruder.
The drying boxes are above the printer on the shelf so I can just see inside. The coils have a silica container in the core.
For storage, the coils go individually into airtight PE storage boxes. I mainly use Prusament on the honeycomb spools.
When I found the first stay-on-spool clip I thought it is a great idea, but I couldn't get the print stable enough to use the clip twice (it broke).
In the comments, the creator already suspected that a screwed solution would have been a better alternative.
After extensive testing, here is the final solution (for Prusa honeycomb coils).
I also tried a smaller version with an M3 screw, but it could be broken by pulling on the filament with a little force. More stable materials are out of the question here, as the small thread can only be printed with PLA and a small layer height (< 0.15 mm).
So, now have fun printing
