Intended Design/Use
Let me admit up front that there are many great filament swatch designs available on this site. That said, I wanted a small swatch that didn't take long to print (less than 10 minutes), would have space for a 0.5" x 1.5" (13mm x 38mm) thermal label, and could give me a reasonable sense of a filament's translucency.
I drew inspiration from this mini filament swatch by @smiksky: https://www.printables.com/model/271311-mini-filament-swatch
Overall dimensions of the swatch are:
75mm x 18mm x 1.8mm (x, y, z)
The hole is 8mm in diameter
I chose to have the translucency samples get more opaque toward the edge of the swatch. There are 5 translucency samples at 0.2mm - 1.0mm in 0.2mm layer height increments.
Model created in Fusion.
