Filament Swatch

cults3d

Make a filament swatch to see how a filament looks printed and how your printer handles the filament with the embedded mini torture tests. This is my take on a filament swatch, based on a model on Thingiverse. Designed from scratch in Fusion360, using the original model as a starting point, adding my own touch. Features: - Thickness/transparency test - Overhang test - Gaps test - Wall thickness test - Hole diameter test - M3 screw size hole - Posts diameter test which doubles as stringing test - Sharp inside and outside corners test - A smooth feature - A slope feature - 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 :) Off course these torture tests aren't up to it compared to a real torture test, but should at least give some indication.
