Filament Finish Test Plaque

myminifactory

I needed a way to quickly communicate options for color, finish, and the limitations of rendering text on custom designs. So I designed this test swatch/plaque. I've been using the Hilburt Curve top infill option on Prusaslicer for a while now. It produces a nice, consistant mottled finish and avoids the occasional bulging fill line that sometimes marrs the finish of prints. Using the Height Range modifier in Prusaslicer allows you to print one of the surfaces with rectilinear fill and the other with Hilburt (or whatever). Makes it easy to compare finishes in person or in photos. Set your height range modifier to 6-7mm, then choose Add Settings -> Infill -> Top Fill Pattern to swich between two different modes.
