Filament Swatch Re-Remix

prusaprinters

<p>This is a new version of the Filament Swatch Remix I made with some updated mini torture tests and thought to share here too.</p> <p>Make a filament swatch and see how your printer handles the filament.</p> <p>I really liked the Filament Swatch Remix, but there were some minor things I felt needed tweaking (e.g. the sphere shape which doesn't seem to slice properly).</p> <p>Since that one is a SketchUp file I basically redrew the Filament Swatch from scratch in Fusion360, adding my own touch.</p> <p>Physical size is exactly the same as the swatch I based this on, so this one should still fit the existing boxes and storage containters on Thingiverse.</p> <p>Features:</p> <ul> <li>Thickness/transparency test</li> <li>Overhang test</li> <li>Gaps test</li> <li>Wall thickness test</li> <li>Hole diameter test</li> <li>M3 screw size hole</li> <li>Posts diameter test which doubles as stringing test</li> <li>Sharp inside and outside corners test</li> <li>A smooth feature</li> <li>A slope feature</li> <li>The grip features on the side double as bed adhesion test. It now also fits another swatch next to it as a tolerance test or just good for fidgeting with them :)</li> </ul> <p>Off course these torture tests aren't up to it compared to a real torture test, but should at least give some indication.</p> <p>The ideal print layer height is 0.1mm but 0.2mm also works nice. I honestly usually use 0.2mm.</p> <p>For true transparency test use 100% infill. If not important, I print with 15% honeycomb.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.1</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>15% honeycomb</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Any All Any Post-Printing =============</p> <p><strong>Labels &amp; other things...</strong></p> <div><p>Hi-res of the legend: <a href="https://bit.ly/filament_swatch_legend" rel="nofollow">https://bit.ly/filament_swatch_legend</a></p> Label template (Brother P-Touch DK11208 or compatible): <https: bit.ly="" filament_swatch_label=""> <p>You can also use the Excel label mentioned here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4695346">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4695346</a> or just a Dymo label...</p> <p>As storage box, I've printed this one <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4670035">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4670035</a> - but you basically can use any box on ThingiVerse that can hold the swatches this design is based on as the dimensions of my swatch are the same...</p> </https:></div></p></p></p> Category: 3D Printing Tests
