Description
Keep your stored filament from unwinding and breaking. My filament was breaking when I stored it with the end of the filament looped out and back in the spool side holes - even when I dried it - due to the sharp bend. No more with this simple clip.
UPDATE: V1.1 fits a little tighter on the spool and holds the filament in place better.

Design works on cardboard spools. Let me know in a comment if an adjusted design would work better for the spools you use.
