Benchy Filament Sample Carousel & Sign-Generator and Management-Excel Tool

thingiverse

I'm showcasing my filament color samples using the Jolly #3DBenchy. After a while, I accumulated a small Benchy Fleet and some empty spools. To save space, why not combine both? Using Tom's 3DBenchy Rudder Stand V2 as a base, I added a part where you can print a sign. On the sign, I include the original brand name and the number from my filament-management excel sheet. This way, customers can choose their favored color by number or name instead of pointing to it and saying "that purple over there." Instructions: 1) Fill in your data on the excel sheet. 2) Print and cut out the sign-page. 3) Test what tolerances you need (0.5mm, 0.75mm, or 1.0mm available). 4) Print some stands. 5) Use double-sided tape to secure them on the empty spools (I'm using 10 ships per spool). 6) Present the carousel to your customers.
