This is possible by having both the debossed brand and material on each chip. I wasnt able to find a collection of chips elsewhere that had this.You are missing Brand/Material X!Leave me a comment and I'll add it! There are ALOT of materials and brands out there. I have added the ones I am aware off but always happy to add more.Why dont the chips have the color debossed into them?Primarily because that would result in a magnitude more files to manage and require scrapping alot more data.Secondly, most people can see the color of each chip. So outside of a few rare cases where a single brand has 2 similair colors of the same material, it shouldnt be an issue.Print instructionsThe model was printed in PLA, 10% infill, no supports.Chips DescriptionImageFCS Color ChipA simple color chipFCS Texture ChipA simple texture chip (Coming Soon) FCS Infill ChipA simple infill chipFCS Blank ChipA blank chip.
