<p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Customizable Calibration Swatch</strong></h3><p><img>This is a filament swatch designed to be used as a calibration print as well. It might be a bit beefy for a filament swatch (about 5g of filament, depends on the settings) but hopefully it can save more filament that would be used to print calibration models.</p><p>It's features include:</p><ul><li>Header space designed for text that can be easily &nbsp;customized in OpenSCAD.&nbsp;</li></ul><figure class="image image_resized image-style-align-center" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/270614/rich_content/474bd6fe-edf7-4a6f-893d-d8a5f47a56c4/image_2022-09-03_182711121.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2294dfd733-c98f-4621-ba38-0251ed91f043%22%2C%22w%22%3A993%2C%22h%22%3A385%7D"></figure><ul><li>Overhang test for <strong>45</strong><a href="https://www.degreesymbol.net/">°</a> and <strong>60</strong><a href="https://www.degreesymbol.net/">°</a> overhangs.</li></ul><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/270614/rich_content/55cdbc6b-114f-4555-bc29-5fe18586551b/swatchangles.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2250f9586f-2a49-4092-b049-d129a2bafa33%22%2C%22w%22%3A689%2C%22h%22%3A196%7D"></figure><ul><li>Short and long bridges, lengths about <strong>11mm </strong>and <strong>24mm </strong>respectively.</li></ul><figure class="image image_resized image-style-align-center" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/270614/rich_content/b7670c76-3c30-4a6b-b98e-073d88aa6a27/swatchbridges.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%223fb441be-3b18-4ede-bdb7-ce163f6d4e94%22%2C%22w%22%3A1024%2C%22h%22%3A768%7D"></figure><ul><li>Circular lines in decreasing width for testing linewidth and flow.</li><li>A pattern of hexagons (who doesn't love hexagons) of decreasing height and size &nbsp;as well as an sphere for testing detail and retraction.</li></ul><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/270614/rich_content/43f39d0e-7411-4496-932b-0e7f380c0b07/swatch_2022-sep-03_04-55-09pm-000_customizedview16325904612_png_alpha.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2295151ee0-2419-4361-a0a1-e0e4aff7f83e%22%2C%22w%22%3A864%2C%22h%22%3A371%7D"></figure><ul><li>A hole for putting it on a keyring.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also made a two part version where the text tag is separate from the swatch.

The holes on the watch are offset <strong>0.2mm</strong></p><h4><strong>Instructions:</strong></h4><p>Open the Swatch.scad in &nbsp;<strong>OpenSCAD </strong>and edit the name and type parameters, optionally letter size and height. The offsets for the text placement should be fine but can be changed too if needed.</p><p>If using the two part model, print swatch2part.stl and in <strong>OpenSCAD </strong>edit the path to file parameter to where your <i>SwatchTag.stl</i> is (remember to change \ into / if there is an error).&nbsp;</p><p>Unfortunately, at the moment of posting this make I have only one spool of filament so I can't show how it would look with different filaments.</p><p>Hope You like it and it proves useful!</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
