Description
This is a remix of the Linear Filament Swatch Holder by Buddz, adapted to work with the Multiboard mounting system by Jonathan from Keep Making. The key goal with this redesign was to provide two mounting options for different space, direction of attachment, and ease-of-use preferences.
Included in this design are:
- Multipoint Rail Slide Mount (Horizontal) – Ideal for preventing accidental filament swatch spills. Instead of sliding down vertically to attach to multiboard (which can cause jostling), this version allows you to slide in sideways, making it a lot safer and more stable, especially if you have multiple swatches loaded. This version does require supports, but they’re hidden against the Multiboard plate when mounted, so it still looks clean in use.
- Be sure to insert slide triangle into main body before snapping together, it snaps together really tight. TRIANGLE SLIDING PIECE THAT MAKES SWATCHES GO UP SHOULD FACE AWAY FROM WALL/MULTIPOINT SIDE
- Vertical Mount – This prints support-free and has a tidier aesthetic right off the printer.
Both options are designed for compatibility with single or extended multipoint rails:
- Use single multipoints if you're tight on space or want a quick, easy attachment (I used these in the example images, they fit on just fine).
- Try longer multipoint rails (linked below) for extra stability, especially if your filament swatch chain is heavy or extended.
The multipoint rail slide version is my personal favorite due to its better retention and smooth detachment.
