3D Printing Available Sign With Swatches

thingiverse

This is a straightforward sign designed to hang from a shelf with holes for attaching it using an S hook or small key ring to organize swatches neatly. You have six options: five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen, or fifteen holes, beyond which the width becomes uncommon. Make sure the design fits on your bed properly by scaling both the sign and the swatches accordingly. To print this design effectively, you need to pause your G-Code just before the final layers of the main sign. This step varies among users, so I cannot provide a comprehensive guide; instead, search for the specific pause function in your slicer and learn how to integrate it correctly into your printing process. You also have the option to print this design as a solid color, then paint the raised letters afterwards. The example shown here was created with white followed by black. Included are swatches of varying layer heights designed to demonstrate shading and see-through effects. Print only the ones corresponding to your printer's height setting for accurate results; all swatches are the same size and will fit well on the sign. Print Settings: Printer: Hictop Modified Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 (dependent on file) Infill: 10-40% (100% for swatches) Notes: Print this design in a comfortable location for your printer as it's not complex and doesn't require extensive infill or perimeters. The example shown was printed with 20% infill and two perimeters on top, bottom, and sides, holding the swatches securely. For best results, print the swatches at 100% infill.
