NEW: Version 2

Complete re-design for this V2. The clip holds firmly to the frame, is easy to use one-handedly and matches much better with the general Prusa design.

The main purpose of this redesign is to have the clip hold more firmly to the frame. The previous version (and the model it was remixed from) tends to slide on the frame over time. Especially if it's printed in PLA because of its inevitable loosening.
The way this add-on snaps onto the frame just like the standard spool holder makes it hold firmly and durably.

-------------------------------

A simple clip attached to the frame of a Prusa i3 MK3 to easily hold the filament that is not loaded on the print head.

I was not satisfied with the other filament holders I could find here, so I designed mine.
It holds the filament in a much more satisfying way in my opinion.

Very helpful during manual multi-color prints when you have to change the filament.

And since I generally have two spools on my printer, the unused spool's filament is always clipped into this handy holder.

About the print :

  • I recommend PET (PLA may be a bit fragile on the weakest parts) Prusament Galaxy Black PETG is the very best match here 🤩
  • 0.3mm layers is good enough
  • 4 or 5 perimeters (and no need for infill)
  • You will need to mirror the stl to print a second clip for the left spool
  • 6 grams, 2metres, 30mn print
