Multi-color / multi-material printing is hard enough, without forgetting what colors you have loaded.
So how about we just store a sample of each filament right on the front of your enclosure for each color in use. This makes it easy to see all the loaded colors and plastic types at a glance.
It's convenient to label what's in the printer, and I think it looks kind of nice.
I especially thought this would be useful considering some people use a drybox that fully encloses the spool and reduces visibility.
The swatches I use are the award-winning model from Thomas Mergen:

Printing advice:
I printed these standing on one end (see picture) to avoid wasting any material in supports. The print time is the same either way.
(Also, in case you're wondering, the marks on the swatches are the brands (SL for SunLu, or a “+” beside PLA for PLA Plus/pro)
