Quickly flag the dishwasher or laundry bin between dirty or clean. You don't need a multi-color printer or multiple color filament. You can color a piece of paper and wedge it between the base plate and letter plate. I use two-sided 3M tape to stick this on the dishwasher.
Uses under 10 grams of PLA to print in total. Measures ~6 inches wide and ~1 inch tall.
Instructions:
- Print all three files, a back plate, the letters, and the front slide plate.
- Optional - get a white paper and color it for the letters. Cut the paper to size and insert it into the back plate before you snap the letters into the back plate.
- Push the letters into the back plate to snap them together. Add even downward pressure on a flat surface like a table.
- Slide the face plate on top of the back plate. It should easily ride on the top/bottom rails of the back plate.
- Add magnets or double sided tape to the back.
