Filament Swatch Holder with Slider 75mm (v2)

NOTICE: WORK IN PROGRESS: I am working on adjusting this model some more, Trying to get it to a 6u height and bottom of gridfinity will all be ½'s so only one bottom will be needed, and a few other tweaks from my testers suggestions.

 

UPDATE:

2026 01-24: Published Test Version 2,  Gridfinity using ½ squares now, Rounded many corners and other small tweaks. 2 Lids, one if your using the labels that stick up and one if your not. All parts in this new profile have been updated. If your print any new parts, I recommend you print the others also. Please feel free to comment and let me know any issues. (Tested printing on my X1C)

 

 

 

Version 2 is Officially Released for 75mm version (Other to come later).

Filament Swatch Holder is designed to accommodate Filament Sample Card that fenglyu designed here:

This 3D print is an excellent solution for storing, transporting, and displaying your samples.

 

I have listened as added the feature requested. (Lid, GridFinity Options, and smoother movement)

 

The New Swatch Holder features an end that hides the slider, while the opposite end keeps the swatches protruding (Orient Accordingly). I designed it to fit any of the three base options, with the slider configurable to the right or left simply by rotating the base. The lid, if desired, works with the same regardless of slider orientation (Just rotate as needed). If using the lid, the Holder and Lid use 10mm x 3mm magnets (just be sure to orient the polarity correctly). They should be pressure fit in.

 

I’ve printed several of these during testing, and they glide much more smoothly than before. A little downward pressure on the slider can help if you experience any resistance, but as you can see in my video, it now moves with a smooth, effortless glide.

 

I have also included a blank label of each orientation, along with at few premade that should make it easier for others to customize the names.

 

If you find this print useful, please consider boosting it and sharing.
