This is a new version of the Filament Swatch Remix I made with some updated mini torture tests and thought to share here too.
Make a filament swatch and see how your printer handles the filament.

I really liked the Filament Swatch Remix, but there were some minor things I felt needed tweaking (e.g. the sphere shape which doesn't seem to slice properly).
Since that one is a SketchUp file I basically redrew the Filament Swatch from scratch in Fusion360, adding my own touch.

Physical size is exactly the same as the swatch I based this on, so this one should still fit the existing boxes and storage containters on Thingiverse.

Features:

  • Thickness/transparency test
  • Overhang test
  • Gaps test
  • Wall thickness test
  • Hole diameter test
  • M3 screw size hole
  • Posts diameter test which doubles as stringing test
  • Sharp inside and outside corners test
  • A smooth feature
  • A slope feature
  • The grip features on the side double as bed adhesion test. It now also fits another swatch next to it as a tolerance test or just good for fidgeting with them :)

Off course these torture tests aren't up to it compared to a real torture test, but should at least give some indication.

The ideal print layer height is 0.1mm but 0.2mm also works nice. I honestly usually use 0.2mm.
For true transparency test use 100% infill. If not important, I print with 15% honeycomb.
