I still find something amazing and silly to be using a 3d printer to make things for my 3d printer. This is a clamp to keep the filament spool in one place.
Major thanks beyond my ability to express it to the wifeypoo for surprising me with this device. Funny I didn’t already have one because this is right up my proverbial alley.
Webcam is a Logitech C910 connected to a Raspberry Pi 3+ (I think) which is controlling this Creality Ender-5 printer using black PLA filament. OctoPrint is a damn hoot! Need to stop the autofocus on the camera somehow though.
