Description

Using the holes in the spool to fix the filament while not in use puts the filament under stress and it tends to break after a while, these clips prevent that from happening.

Compatible with the AMS on both sides of the spool.
I would still recommend only using the right side of the spool in the AMS or glueing the clip in place so it cannot fall out and block the spool on the left side.

The design is completely parametric in case you need to fine-tune the fitment, just open the source file in Fusion360 and adjust the user parameters.

Notes

Made with the personal version of Autodesk Fusion 360 therefore non commercial only.

Source file included.

Nice idea. Fits wells into the holes, but seems a bit too loose for me. Could be my filament settings

Thank you for the review. I think they fit a bit looser on the new white spools than they did on the clear spools for me, I'll try to dial that in a bit better.

Maybe make them splitted for some flexibility?

@LayerCake

Replying to @Ja2ja1 :

I have updated my profiles and the Fusion360 file, the pins now have an ever so slight taper to them and really hold onto the spool for me, when printed in Bambu PLA Basic or Overture Matte PLA. I tried adding a thread / split but those pins then broke too easily for me.
