Box with Filament Samples

cults3d

Each sample is 85x54x4.5mm or roughly the size of a credit card. Each sample will use ~14g of filament and take ~1½ hours to print with the settings I used. The large rectangle on each sample is a small piece (Insert.stl) printed standing and then glued onto the larger part. It allows you to get a better idea of how the material looks in both directions so to speak. The 6 squares are 0.5 to 3.0mm thick in 0.5mm increments to give a better idea of light penetration. The indents at the top indicate the type of material - You can use them as you want or skip them entirely. I use 1 for PLA, 2 for PETG, 3 for TPU and 4 for PA. Instructions for OpenSCAD: OpenSCAD file included with the download, this is by far the fastest and easiest way to make these. All credit for making these available for OpenSCAD goes to Knochi / mail@knochi.de Load the OpenSCAD file Change the options on line 2 through 11, ie. the brand, name and type of filament and number of notches at the top Click Render (F6) and wait a moment till it is done Click Export as STL (F7) Instructions for Fusion 360: The included 3MF file can be imported in Fusion 360. A short tutorial on how to edit the text in Fusion 360 is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBGgSfdIGmE Storage boxes: There's a few different solutions included for storing these. • Box Large for 32 samples (picture 3) • Box Small for 23 samples • WallBox Single for 24 samples • WallBox Double for 48 samples (picture 1) The WallBoxes use a mount so they can easily be taken off the wall so you can carry it around and then put it back on the wall later.
