Filament Swatch File (1) - Rolodex Style Open Holder

prusaprinters

<p>In the days BC (Before Computers), we kept track of contacts' information on a large Rolodex card file. &nbsp;I was surprised to find that Rolodex card files are still available at Amazon and local stationary stores. &nbsp;I copied the two rail card format to use as the basis for storing an index of purchased filaments.</p><p>This design uses the basic Rolodex two rail file system configuration on a simple open base. &nbsp;Two other designs are also offered that add sides and a hinged cover.</p><p>The filament swatches are designed based on the Rolodex file system. &nbsp;This swatch holder adds sides and a hinged top to the basic holder.</p><p>Each sample swatch can be printed as a plain card and magic marked with appropriate data, or you can add your own text to the card design in Fusion 360. &nbsp;Files for the plain swatch/card, index tabs, and sample specific-filament cards are provided below.</p><p>I found that printing in Vase Mode provided a viable swatch that is quite flexible and robust.</p><p>The standard Rolodex card is 4" x 2-¼". &nbsp;I found this a bit large, so reduced that swatch to ~3" x 1-5/8". &nbsp;I did not change the Rolodex rail size or position.</p>
