Printrbot Simple Metal Color Change Clip

thingiverse

For owners of the Printrbot Simple Metal printer. Have you ever grown tired of pressing down against that very stiff spring while doing a color change? I actually find it painful, after about a second. Yes, the pressure can be relieved by working with the screw, but that takes longer. This small but useful part (navy blue, near center of picture) can be inserted around the screw to relieve the pressure and free both hands while you do a color change. Instructions 100% solid fill. You'll need it, to take all that pressure. If I were motivated enough to do it again, I'd probably put a 1.5cm handle on it, sticking out the front, to make it easier to pull out when finished.
