Note: I've used this Filament Lock and my Filament Retainer for more than a year. I have found the Filament Retainer design to be better suited to my requirements. I have recently updated the Filament Retainer by adding a nose to prevent catching on spoked filament spools.
1.75 mm Filament Lock
This is an improved filament lock to prevent unspooling and tangles.
This better meets my original requirements over my first design.
The first design works but I found that on some spools the retainer could slide and allow the filament to loosen on the spool. I encourage you to try this one.
