Opacity Test Chips

thingiverse

I'm testing the visibility of various filaments when used for candles and tea lights, ensuring prints aren't too thick and light can still shine through. This is a straightforward test involving simple chips ranging from 1mm to 9mm in thickness, all measuring 40mm x 40mm. A zip file with all the source files created in 123D Design is available for anyone who finds it useful. Individual chips are also included, as well as one comprehensive file featuring all nine chips together. To keep the chips organized, a hole has been incorporated to allow you to print multiple units and connect them with a chain. These test pieces could potentially serve as calibration tests, depending on your needs.
