Customizable Filament Card

Needed a Filament Card with filament names, types and visual representation(5 squares) of how transparency is affected in relation to layer height.
Found nothing suitable for my needs so i decided to code my own.
Also it is one of my first BOSL2 projects. Ive updated it a bit today.

Important

• You must have the following installed to adjust the parameters
  • OpenSCAD
  • BOSL2
  • A font face. Im using the Google Font Allerta Stencil.
    See section Font for more informations.
• No support
• No rafts

Font

According to the official documentation of OpenSCAD please have a look at the section “Using Fonts & Styles” to know how to findout which fonts you have installed and to use.

Short explanation: 

• Open Help > Font List within OpenSCAD to see your available fonts. 
• If you didnt found your installed and wanted font
  • Restart OpenSCAD
  • Check the section “Using Fonts & Styles” 
• Liberation Sans is the default font of OpenSCAD. 
  If you have problems with your font try this to see if you have a general problem. I never had!
• Change parameter $fontname and insert your font name.
  E.g.:
  • $fontname = "Allerta Stencil";
  • $fontname = "Liberation Sans";

How I Designed This

Build with OpenSCAD version 2021.01.

Used OpenSCAD Plugin: 

• BOSL2 – The Belfry OpenScad Library, v2
  • OpenSCAD Plugins page
  • GitHub

Help/Contact

Please use comment section. I try to answer every post and as fast as possible. But aware. Im using windows no linux or something else so if your question is system related in the most cases i cannot help.

Special thanks

A big thank you goes to my wife and the entire team at Prusa, OpenSCAD and BOSL2. Without you, this model would not have been possible.
