This is a simple RFID Tag clip that slips onto the 'fins' of SnapMaker U1 filament spool holders.

I mainly use filament from vendors who don't include RFID tags on their spools, so I picked up some NTAG215 tags from Amazon (about 0.25 each) that I could use to store and send Filament data to the U1 using it's built in auto-detection and looked for a spool mounted holder design.

The model I based this design on was a pretty close match, but wasn't quite big enough, and the spool holder ring/hanger prevented the filament spool from sliding on completely.

I updated the model so that you can slide the clip on the back of the fin of the filament holder, it will spin around securely as the spool rotates, wont fall off (at least hasn't yet), and doesn't get in the way.

My plan is to program the tag with the corresponding filament data (brand, type, color, temps) using a mobile app like 'SpoolPainter' for Android, keep the tag mounted on the printer when in use, and then store it with the spool when not in use. Once the spool is empty I can simply reprogram for use with the next filament type.

I like the really like the design feature that allows you to slide a piece of filament into a slot on the tag, makes it easy to see, and super simple to use... I wish I'd thought of it myself!
