Filament Sample Chip - Business Card Style

pinshape

We've come up with an innovative way to manage your filament samples. Are you fed up with carrying around a string of filament chips from friend to friend or client to client? Do you even remember which chip is which filament? Why not turn your filament samples into business card-sized pieces and store them neatly in a clear binder insert found at your local office supply stores? We've produced these sample chips with the following dimensions: 85mm long, 47mm high, 5mm wide, and rounded corners to help fit them into the binder insert slots. Keep in mind that these chips are slightly smaller than typical business cards due to their added thickness. The chips come with four "windows" to showcase the transparency features of each filament. These windows range from 1mm to 4mm in thickness, allowing you to see through them. As seen in our sample images, we've included descriptive text on each chip for easy identification. We label our chips to make it easier to track information about each filament. Each label includes the filament's color, described in one or two words, its type (such as ABS, PLA, or T-Glass), and a unique number system that helps us look up the brand, purchase price, and other relevant details. The first part of our labels is the filament's color, which we keep short. The second part includes the filament type, also kept brief. Lastly, we add numbers to each label, keeping them to two digits for future reference. We keep all this information in a separate book along with additional details like manufacturer, spool price, and printer settings. Printing these chips is straightforward: no supports are needed. However, as your labels become more detailed, you may need to print finer text around the labels. Don't lug around your sample chips on a string anymore! Use these chips and storage method to have organization and easily transport your samples for yourself and potential clients. Seeing the variety of filament choices will undoubtedly impress them. Make it count! Below is a link to some sleeves that can hold these samples: Staples - Business Card Pages Designed by Brad & Chris Halliday. If you need custom chip labels, just let us know!
