Filament Clip for 3mm Filament
Description
I was inspired by Madox who did a nice little clip for 1.75mm filament (find that one here thingiverse.com/thing:12516 ) . I think this is a really useful thing but I only have 3mm Filament - so I decided to make a 3mm version. Still needs to be tested.. didn't print it by now. Idea is to clip the filament in instead of pushing through the hole...
--> I changed the overall height from 10 to 6mm (prints faster, and I think it will be rigid enough...)

I've made a bunch of these, they work great. I haven't had one break yet, they're the perfect combo of stiff enough but flexible enough.
Hint: print with no extra shells.

Hi :) Just to let you know I did a 'clip' for the filament as well as the hole originally but found that its prone to breaking/subject to tolerances. i.e. unless you have a decent printer the prongs for the clip might not turn out well.

Is there a 1.75mm version somewhere?
Check the History. The original one (by Madox) was for 1.75mm filament I guess...
