Filament Clip - K2 Clip

K2 Clip

The K2 Clip is a unique design with multiple locking points. No matter what, there will be a locking point facing up. The clip can be left to "float" on your filament spool while printing. Extra secure storage using the locking version! READ TEST PRINT NOTES!

Print Files / Details:

- K2_Clip_v2.5 : Im listening to your comments. You wanted all corners the same size and the center to insert PTFE as an option. New tapered slots! - K2_Clip_Locking_v2.stl - Updated 12/20/2023. ( IMPORTANT: If locking version of clip is at a very sharp angle while printing, it's possible the locking clip may grab your filament. ie. Fokoos, Bambu AMS). NOTE: I recommend taking them off when using the Bambu AMS. I do run the NON-locking center version on my AMS, but NOT with full spools.

My Test Scale X/Y ONLY:

- Ender 3v2: 100% - Ender 5-S1: 100% - Bambu X1C: 96% PLA/PLA PRO - My Print Settings:

- 0.4mm Nozzle - 0.20mm Layer height - 2-3 Walls/Perimeters - I print at 100% scale. Test print one, and just scale up/down X/Y. PETG - My Print Settings:

- 0.4mm Nozzle - 0.20mm Layer height - 2-3 Walls/Perimeters - I Scale X/Y to 96%. Polymaker PETG was a loose fit for me. NOTE: All printers are different, and calibrated differently. The K2 Clip has very tight tolerances. Test print one in case you need to scale the X/Y up or down. If you are having problems getting a nice first layer on this and other small parts, try slowing down your prints first layer and calibrate your Z-Offset.

Q&A:

- How do I use the K2 Clip? - Insert the end of your filament through the center hole and feed the clip around your spool until the end of your filament again meets up with your K2 Clip. - Press the end of your filament into the top of the K2 Clip. - Why so tight?!?! It's designed to be tight and hold your filament firmly. The K2 Clip will loosen after some use. - Why is it a triangle? Triangles are cool! No matter what, there will be a locking point facing up. - Should I remove the clip while printing? Heck NO! I took lots of time designing/sizing/shaping/massaging that center hole.
