Some filament manufacturers like to send swatches of other filaments with your order. But if you keep all your swatches in a single format, these swatches end up just rattling around a drawer. But if you like the filament manufacturer, you might want to have a swatch for evaluating a project… so what to do?
I keep my swatches (mostly color-swap printed) in a Rolodex form by 3D Printy. I've also found California Filament's PETG to be of good quality. This model adapts the swatch they send with filament orders (originally this model by Jaxel) to the 3D Printy Rolodex, retaining almost all customization options!
- Included STL should press-fit these specific swatches - depending on printer tolerances.
- Customizable tolerances in X and Y, plus text, size, shape, bottom holes, stars, and ring holes as seen in the original.
- Includes a copy of the swatch STL from California Filament's site - used to get the hole shape exactly right.
- Adaptable to hold other swatch models - just swap out the
importstatement to point to your swatch STL, and play with sizes and model movement in OpenSCAD until you get the result you want.
Printed in some leftover white PLA at 0.2mm layer height. The material does not need to match the contained swatch.
