Description

What

An in path filament wiper that also guide and keeps it and allows you to clip it into a holder. Wipes, treat or colors filament(with a piece of inked cotton you put in). Can be changed in path (no filament unload necessary). Helps you organize and select your filaments, keeps them from entanglement - Customizable. Outer diameter 20mm (fit or press through).

Added single clip for easy remix and adaptation or markings - like a clip for spools, a mount for your printer or as an additional marking for materials (better use color coding like (black=PLA, white=ABS or trans=PETG) just for one part like the base or lid) .

Why

Plastic (Filament) will be charged and so attract and become a dust magnet. Then dust can accumulate in your nozzle and clog it. You will wonder what amounts you will find in your cleaner. 

How

Use some lint free cotton pad, fabric, or cut a sponge 20mm length ( the inside is 17.5×∅10mm ) - fold/wrap tight around the filament and push the male part over it so a little bit (2mm) protrudes.

 Now close with the female part and turn till click. This will compress the filter.  Test that the filament is not too tight but also not loose when pulled through.  Renew or check after each spool.
