Yet another Prusament spool clip
It's a very strong clip for Prusament spools only. It's intended to always stay on the spool, even while printing.
I recommend using PETG (not PLA).
Installation
Look for holes like in the first image and position the clip just above them.
Push the clip downward — it must be centered over the four holes indicated by the arrows (third image). You will need to push very hard (a click must be heard) so that the clip is firmly secured.
FAQ
Why so strong, are you mad?
The clip must stay in place. I'm tired of fighting with the filament and other clips I find on Printables.com. I'm sure there are other great clips out there, but now I prefer to make my own. I tested multiple clips and they all have their pros and cons. I need a clip that stays on the spool, where the filament is held firmly, and I don't want to remove the clip every time — so the filament must not get caught by the clip when the spool is rotating.
It's too difficult to insert the filament into the hole
It's difficult because you forgot to cut the end of the filament at an angle (bevel cut). But not that I use it mostly with PETG filaments. With PLA filaments, it can be really quite difficult because the filaments are less flexible.
Hey, how do I remove this clip without destroying my nails?
Why would you want to remove it? Okay, don't worry — there's a trick. Using a tool (like a screwdriver), insert it into the hole under the clip to use it as a lever. As you can see, this should be an "exceptional" operation, as removing the clip should rarely be necessary. Be careful not to damage the filament during the process.
Can you provide a less strong clip?
You should look for other clips on Printables.com. There are a lot of makers. Note that the original FreeCAD file is provided under the GNU General Public License v3.0. Feel free to provide updates if you want.
