Description

K2 Clip

The K2 Clip is a unique design with multiple locking points. No matter what, there will be a locking point facing up. The clip can be left to "float" on your filament spool while printing. Extra secure storage using the locking version! NOTE: I recommend taking them off when using the Bambu AMS. I do run the Smooth (NON-locking) center version on my AMS, but NOT with full spools that may touch/grab the clip.

Print Files / Details:

  1. K2_Clip_v2.8 - Updated 08/25/2023: Smooth center, NONE locking center, New tapered slots!
  2. K2_Clip_Locking_v2.8.stl - Updated 12/13/2023: NEW redesigned locking center. Great for springy filaments. (IMPORTANT: If locking version of clip is left on the filament while printing, and is at a very sharp angle, it's possible the locking center clip may grab your filament. ie. Fokoos, in Bambu AMS).

NOTE: All printers are different, and calibrated differently. The K2 Clip has very tight tolerances. Test print one in case you need to scale the X/Y up or down.

Q&A:

  • How do I use the K2 Clip?
    • Insert the end of your filament through the center hole and feed the clip around your spool until the end of your filament again meets up with your K2 Clip.
    • Press the end of your filament into the top of the K2 Clip.
  • Why so tight?!?! It's designed to be tight and hold your filament firmly. The K2 Clip will loosen after some use.
  • Why is it a triangle? Triangles are cool! No matter what, there will be a locking point facing up.
  • Should I remove the clip while printing? In your AMS, I would, otherwise Heck NO! I took lots of time designing/sizing/shaping/massaging that center hole to float on your spool while printing.

Genius Design like I said before in the comments! Unfortunately it doesn't work well with my filaments :( I can't lock BambuLab PLA Basic in the middle - it didn't pass throw :( (it almost cracks when I try to press it in the lock (white marks)). However it does work well with the TPU95A. Maybe try to use a Cone or 2 Steps for different Filament diameter ?

looks like you just need to scale it up, maybe 102% on the x/y only.
