Filament Sample Holder

This is a CDR file designed specifically for laser cutter compatibility. I converted it from X7 as version 11, making it easily accessible to more people by eliminating software-specific requirements. I decided to categorize my samples by organizing them systematically, ensuring quick access and retrieval. The top section is formatted to fit Avery #8560 labels, readily available at any office supply store. The distinctive tab designs serve a dual purpose: they are mounted on pegboard hooks for easy identification and retrieval, while the shapes clearly indicate the type of filament. Square-shaped tabs signify ABS material, rounded ones represent PLA, house-shaped denote Nylon, and triangular ones mark other materials. To make quick reference simple, I have included essential information on each label - product name, color, and print temperature ranges. In addition to personal organization, these labels can be hung outside containers to reveal their contents without needing to open them. This approach reduces contamination and saves time when searching for specific filaments. The corel file contains all necessary components for crafting customized tabs in various shapes, allowing users to expand their collection as needed.
