Description
Yet another spool clip - this one is designed to be printed in PLA. Because its flexible, it is compatible with MakerBot and 100mm x 30mm spools and most likely many others.
UPDATE Jan 22 2013
I have created four different clips sizes to accommodate reels with different flange widths.
S = 3.0mm
M = 3.5mm
L = 4.0mm
XL = 4.5mm
This clip was designed using an ACIS solid in Shark FX (sfx file included) so will behave well with Makerware, ReplicatorG and skeinforge.

I printed these successfully on my replicator2 using .18mm layers w/ 1 shell and 100% infill. These clips rock when printed as a solid piece, they're still OK even if they print w/ a gap between the shells.
