This is a new version of the Filament Swatch Remix I made with some updated mini torture tests and thought to share here too.
Make a filament swatch and see how your printer handles the filament.
I really liked the Filament Swatch Remix (original on Thingiverse), but there were some minor things I felt needed tweaking (e.g. the sphere shape which doesn't seem to slice properly).
Since that one is a SketchUp file I basically redrew the Filament Swatch from scratch in Fusion360, adding my own touch.
Physical size is exactly the same as the swatch I based this on, so this one should still fit the existing boxes and storage containters on Thingiverse, or this one specifically designed for this swatch here https://www.printables.com/model/259273-filament-swatch-box-with-lid.
Features:
- Thickness/transparency test
- Overhang test
- Gaps test
- Wall thickness test
- Hole diameter test
- M3 screw size hole
- Posts diameter test which doubles as stringing test
- Sharp inside and outside corners test
- A smooth feature
- A slope feature
- The grip features on the side double as bed adhesion test. It now also fits another swatch next to it as a tolerance test or just good for fidgeting with them :)
Off course these torture tests aren't up to it compared to a real torture test, but should at least give some indication.
The ideal print layer height is 0.1mm but 0.2mm also works nice. I honestly usually use 0.2mm.
For true transparency test use 100% infill. If not important, I print with 15% honeycomb.
Labels & other things...

You can also use the Excel label mentioned here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4695346 or just a Dymo label...
As storage box, I've printed this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4670035 - but here's an even better one I still need to print https://www.printables.com/model/259273-filament-swatch-box-with-lid
Please note the Fusion 360 file is included, but is using not always best design practices ;)
