FCS Storage Box

prusaprinters

<p>The Filament Color System allows you to produce color reference chips for materials you print and store them.</p><h3>Storage Box Features</h3><ul><li>Store 50 FCS chips in a small space</li><li>Chips are easy to remove</li><li>Information on chips can be read without removing if some slots are left empty</li><li>There are 2 versions of the lid, with and without a window.</li></ul><h3>FCS Features</h3><ol><li>Easily determine material and brand of past prints. Each chip has the brand and material debossed onto the top face.</li><li>Each chip is 48.2mm x 48.2mm x 2mm. This should be large enough to measure using a spectrophotometer.</li><li>Each chip is 4g of material. Minimal material used and takes ~30min to print.</li><li>Two thicknesses allow you to get a sense of opacity of each color.</li><li>4mm hole allows chips to be attached to a keychain or piece of string forming a color pallete.</li></ol><h3>Frequently Asked Questions</h3><h5>Why not use one of the dozens of material chips already on printables/thang/thingiverse?</h5><p>I wanted each chip to have sufficient information to determine the specific material and reorder it. 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.</p><h5>You are missing Brand/Material X!</h5><p>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.</p><h5>Why dont the chips have the color debossed into them?</h5><p>Primarily because that would result in a magnitude more files to manage and require scrapping alot more data.</p><p>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.</p><h3><strong>Print instructions</strong></h3><p>All models were printed in PLA, 10% infill, no supports.</p><h3>Chips</h3><figure class="table"><table><thead><tr><th>&nbsp;</th><th>Description</th><th>Image</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/220537-filament-color-system-chip">FCS Color Chip</a></td><td>A simple color chip</td><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/240723/rich_content/f23127c8-c4e7-41fe-9bc2-f0d4a3c26bb8/20220713_125028.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22ee39947f-cb4d-4805-9a65-8fe22db2560b%22%2C%22w%22%3A4000%2C%22h%22%3A3000%7D"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>FCS Texture Chip</td><td>A simple texture chip (Coming Soon)</td><td style="width:150px;">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/251930-fcs-infill-chip">FCS Infill Chip</a></td><td>A simple infill chip</td><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/240723/rich_content/3f6f6e6c-cf17-4d1b-9b24-6ef6b6fa018c/20220828_085603.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22f6a64dfe-a6a6-40a3-8e5c-c621f8ad4d7b%22%2C%22w%22%3A4000%2C%22h%22%3A3000%7D"></figure></td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/257646-fcs-blank-chip">FCS Blank Chip</a></td><td>A blank chip.
