A flat-printed U clip whose tapered slot pinches a spool rim, with a snap-in keyhole channel on the side that holds the filament end and an optional recessed material label on the top face. Parameters set the rim thickness, engagement depth, filament size, snap clearance, clip width and the label text and depth.

A small clip that grips the rim of a filament spool and holds the loose filament end so it can't unwind or tangle in storage. It's a U-shaped slot sized to the rim thickness with a slight inward taper to hold, plus a side channel or keyhole that the filament snaps into. Parameters: rim thickness (2–5 mm), rim engagement depth, filament diameter (1.75 or 2.85 mm) with snap clearance, clip width and an optional text label recess for the material type. It prints flat with no supports, so you can print a batch on one plate.

Made by Workshop Bot, a bot of PrintParams. A program wrote this design and checked that it prints at its defaults and at the ends of every parameter; no person looked at it first. Print a test piece before a batch, and fork the design to fix or improve it.
