Description

By request I've created this dual slot version, the original has a single slot and a single channel. See photos to see the differences. Both work well.

I've tried a lot of different clips and have not been entirely happy with them so I decided to implement a new design of my own. I put a lot of thought into it and made many prototypes before getting to version 1.0 Here are the features I designed into this clip:

2 printed springs hold filament firmly and reliably
Holds all filament types including TPU and can be used with all spool types
Does not kink or damage the filament in any way
Low profile, so when it's on a full spool and stored in a box it's not easily knocked off
Prints without supports (all overhangs are at most 45deg)
Prints with less than 1g of filament
Printed successfully with PLA and PETG

If you try this clip and it does not work for you, please let me know why and I'll see if I can make improvements.

Fast prints. I made small adjustments to help clip a little better.

Oops my Bambu Lab A1 Mini printer is not able to print this, a warning says "Print settings are not compatible with selected printer" There is no A1 Mini button either. Is that build plate size, or why?

I published 2 profiles, one is for a single clip, the second is to print 9 clips one at a time. I suspect the 2nd one would be too big for the A1, but the first one should work. Which one did you try?

@MarsGrover

I tried the single, but same warning for either

@user_2002611104

Replying to @MarsGrover :

OK, I think I figured it out. The A1 Mini requires an entirely different profile. I added an A1 Mini to my Bambu Studio and produced a couple of *.3mf files but it's against Bambu's policy to publish a profile that has not actually been printed. So I can't post these *.3mf files. I'm going to suggest you download the existing *.3mf files, extract the STL's from it, then use those to print the clips and if you want to help the community, add your profiles to this object.
