I love xyren's swatches to show off my filaments but I just couldn't handle this POS called IKEA Skadis anymore. All of the slot openings seem to be of slightly different size, and inevitably swatches will fall out, or they're stuck for good.
Trying to come up with a better solution, I blended the design of those swatches with the idea of a honeycomb wall system, specifically the one designed by RostaP. I needed a larger cell size so I tried to use Edwin Eefting's OpenSCAD script to generate honeycombs but ran into a lot of issues and artifacts once I deviated from the default cell sizes. I ended up reimplementing the idea in Fusion 360.
The basic grid has 25 slots and fits on a Mk3/Mk4 print bed. I didn't bother with any fancy lock and key system, I just used SuperGlue to glue the parts together to make a larger surface. The Mount Wall tile can be used to attach the grid to a wall, or use nails or sticky tape.
Updates:
v1.2 12-30-24: Added crush ribs to help keep the swatches in place even if a material is a bit underextruding. Fixed angle of countersink in wall mount.
v1. 01-16-24: Added cutouts to the sides of the swatches, to make them easier to remove from the grid.
Print a swatch and slide it into one of the honeycomb cells. I write the material, brand, and color on the back with a Sharpie.
I also include a 3mf file with labels for common materials, which I use to group categories of swatches. The 3mf file is configured for two manual color changes, to highlight the text. You don't need a printer with multi-color capabilities! To change the label text, simply use Prusaslicer's edit text function to change the label.
Caveat: The parts are sized for a comfortable press-fit, not too tight and not too loose—on my printers. But your printer may have different tolerances, or any given filament may simply extrude more or less material. In which case you can yry to either increase or decrease the extrusion factor a bit, or scale the swatch up or down by 1% or so. v1.2 added crush ribs to help with keeping them safe in place.
STEP file included for easy customization.
