Filament Sample Plate with Tests

Update: I made some changes to the sample. The overhangs are now real overhangs and the stringing/cones/cylinders-section is more efficient now. Further I added a test for sharp corners and another bridging-test.

(The green sample is the old one, the red one is the new version)

Hi, I created this filament sample to showcase the filaments I get my hands on.

The sample contains various tests to demonstrate print quality. These include overhangs, font quality, light transmission, stringing, various wall thicknesses (from 0.2 mm), cylinders, cones, layer visibility and bridges.

The sample is 10 mm deep and printing requires approx. 18 g of filament. The individual samples can be stored in the box provided.

Adjust the two texts in the print file to document the filament brand, type and colour, the printer, the slicer used and, if applicable, whether a custom filament profile was used.

I recommend always printing the samples with the same print settings. Only the filament profiles should be adjusted. This allows for comparability.

I mainly use the Orca slicer. Make sure that the thin walls are printed (Arachne option in Orca).

A shelf for the boxes is tbd.
