Customize size, text and more in the OpenSCAD file - easily done online on MakerWorld’s Parametric Model Maker. Customize → Download → Slice → Print!OpenSCAD optionsThe OpenSCAD model that you can customize online, has a lot of options for you to find what you like the best! Here are some of them:Parts (what to generate and print)BoxLidBoth (box and lid)Spacer (to fill out empty space in box, or to separate ‘sections’ of brand or color)Amount of samples (how many to fit in the box)Angle of samples (from 0 to 45 degrees)0 degrees: can customize the separators between samples1-45 degrees: separators are not there - makes it easy to flip through samples afterwards to find the right one!Size of sample (what size are your samples? Default: 75x35x2 mm)Text (fx. ‘Filament’, ‘Bambu Lab’, ‘Polymaker’, ‘PLA’, ‘PETG’ or what suits your needs)2 textsSelect size and fontOpening in lid (custom width of opening to expose samples - or no opening)and more… (grib, locking, dimensions, tolerances, spacers..)AssemblyJust fill the box with your samples and put the lid on - sounds simple right?Text in single or multicolorIf you set the depth of text to 0.02 - you need to paint it in Bambu Studio.If you set it to 0.2 - the text doesn't need to be painted - it will show (although not too much) with a single color print.Print instructionsNothing too fancy here. But a few ideas:Orientation: Should be right from the start. Lid flipped over.Walls: 2-3 to be sturdy for useBrim: Should not be needed, but if you have a big opening in the lid, it can help on adhesion.Happy printing!
