About this 3D model
I was unable to find hatchbox filament clips online that are AMS, AMS Lite and EIBOS Polyphemus compatible. Redesigned from the ground up as a original design. Enjoy, and share your results. If you encounter issues please let me know, and I will do what I can to help. Updated V2: Complete redesign from ground up New Prong design allows for wider range of spool compatibility First Letter: N - Narrow Version has 3.25mm prong width W - Wide Version has 3.75mm prong width Second Letter: T - Tight Filament Fit L - Loose Filament Fit Narrow Seems to fit most of my PLA and PETG spools, some PLA spools require the Wide version. Features: Removable Some clips have so much friction you cannot remove them without breaking the prongs, these are removable Ultra lightweight at 1.25g per clip Perfectly sized to fit 1.75mm filament without squishing it Tested: Tested on 3 spools of Hatchbox PETG and 1 spool of Hatchbox PLA 2 Sizes for different filament types: Small fits most PETG spools, Large fits Most PLA spools Prints without Brim, by default small brim is added, but I print all mine without Brims. Just make sure your bed temp is at the right value. AMS & AMS-Lite Compatible Print and Assembly Notes: Important PETG-HF Notice: I observed PETG-HF has slightly more shrinkage then standard PETG, scale all parts on X and Y axis by 100.5%-100.8% for ideal prong fitment. Alternatively you can use the filament setting for shrinkage which does the same thing. Suggest Printing 1 Large and 1 Small batch first to test fitment with your spools You only need 1-2 clips per spool. For AMS suggest only placing clips on the right side of the spool, one top and one bottom. For AMS Lite suggest only placing 2 clips on outside of the spool (when loaded to AMS). one top and one bottom . Print Profile Notes: Nozzle: Suggest 0.4mm nozzle for precision fit Wall Loops: 5 wall loops on 0.4mm nozzle, 0.6mm nozzle not recommended due to decreased layer adhesion. Layer Height: Suggest 0.16 or 0.20mm to maximize strength (0.16mm default) Infill: No infill used. Brim: 2.5mm brim, however I have successfully printed with no brim. Material: PETG or PLA Color: Any Print Orientation: Print with filament clip area face down as seen in 3mf file Supports: None 3d Printers: Should be printable on any printer. Filament amount required: ~ 1.25g per clip
