Simple Filament Swatch

prusaprinters

<p>A swatch to compare print color and transparency.</p><p>This swatch is based on the idea of <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4670018">Jims Filament Swatch</a>.</p><p>I did not include any fancy test like bridging or overhangs simply because the results have more to do with how the printer is tuned instead of the filament quality.</p><p>This swatch only contains a transparency test and does not include any additional features to be able to compare different samples from different printers or the same printer with new firmware/settings.</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The swatch is optimized for a <strong>.4 mm nozzle</strong> and <strong>.2 mm layer height</strong>. You also need to print with <strong>100% infill</strong> in order to get a valid transparency test.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>Since many asked me how I did the labels: I use a small box size printer I found on Aliexpress long time ago. You can find similar printers when you search for: "Desktop 58mm Thermal Label Printer USB Bluetooth". The printer comes with an Android/iOS app called MLabel that can be used to create and print labels. Sadly there is no export functionality for the labels so I'm not able to share it.</i></p>
