The project includes a few different models.

just under 2.5g of filament
showcases the filament at different thicknesses (0.20mm, 0.40mm, 0.60mm, 0.80mm, and 1.00mm)
includes a recess on the front side for accurate placement of a 14x40mm label. I use a Nelko P21 I bought on Amazon.
3x1mm recess underneath the label surface for an (optional) magnet to be press fit. I used some random ones I found on Amazon - any 3mm x 1mm magnets should work fine.

just under 5.5g of filament
curved on back side to contour to the shape of cereal dry boxes - I use the Wildone 6 Pack 4 Liter Airtight Cereal Containers from Amazon
recess along back side to make space for thicker adhesive tape
if you are experiencing issues with fitting printed swatches into the mount, try increasing the scale of the object by 1-2% in Bambu Studio

just under 3g of filament
print one of these templates to help with consistent, level placement of the mount to your cereal dry boxes
please refer to photos for an illustration of how to use the template
