This is a simple filament tag to use as color swatches for display.
You will see the model has 3 special features:
- 6 square holes with different depths: the point of these holes is to check transparency with the amount of layers. The bottom left hole only has one layer (as long as it's printed at 0.2mm layer height) so 0.2mm thickness, the one to the right is 0.4mm thick and so on all the way up to the top right which is 1.2mm thick.
- Big square insert for special plates: you can choose to print the insert on a different plate and then snap it into place. For example, you could print the tag on the cool plate but print the insert on the textured PEI plate, this way you can have the feel of how your model will come out. You can also skip this feature at all.
- Indent on top: this is simply to quickly identify the type of material. If you want to modify this feature you will need to use the provided SolidWorks file to edit it. I used 1 indent for PLA, 2 for PETG, 3 for ABS, etc.
No required setting is needed to print the model. However, if you are printing multiple colors/materials on the same plate use a 2mm-thick brim, with 2mm spacing and select print by object. This way the brim acts as a skirt and when changing filaments it has some space to make sure the nozzle is clean and all.
