Universal Snap-On Filament Clip
This is a simple, sturdy clip to keep your spools tidy without the headache of threading the filament through tiny holes. With this one, you just push it against the “lips” with your thumbs and it snaps right in.
⚠️ Important: Please use the “ALL SIZES” print profile! The other profiles are older versions that may have incorrect settings.
Why use this one?
- No Threading: Just push the filament in sideways and it locks.
- Actually Durable: I made the clips wider so they don't snap easily, even if you use PLA.
- Universal Fit: Fits pretty much everything, from tiny 200g spools to massive 3kg rolls.
- Anti-Roll: The head is flat, so if you set the spool on a table, it won't roll away.
- Stackable: The stem is tapered and flat, so you can still stack your spools without the clip getting in the way.
Material Recommendation: PETG, ABS, and ASA are best because they bend without breaking. PLA works fine, but avoid "fancy" blends like Matte, Silk, or Wood as they are brittle and snap easier.
Common Questions
Will this work on the AMS Lite? Yes, works perfectly.
Will this work inside the standard AMS / AMS 2? No. This clip is designed for storage and external holders. It is too bulky for the internal rollers of a standard AMS unit and will cause jams.
Can I leave it on in a filament dryer? Only if the spool doesn't need to rotate. Also, make sure you printed the clip in a heat-resistant material (ABS/ASA) if you are drying at high temps, otherwise, it will melt.

Pro Tip: Print these for "Free" (Flush to Object)
Don't waste filament on "poop" during multi-color prints. You can print these clips using the purge waste!
- Import the clip STL into Bambu Studio alongside your main multi-color print.
- Right-click the clip -> Flush Options -> Flush to this object.
- If you have a lot of flushed volume (poop), just clone the clip a few times to use it all up.
