June 2024 - Added Elegoo, Jayo and Kingroon as brands in the OpenSCAD file. This has been my go-to filament sample I have printed for years now, every time I got a new material type/color. And having these cards as reference for color and transparency is awesome. And now I have learned a little OpenSCAD and recreated it there, for ease of use for other makers! Enjoy! You can add text in multiple ways - whatever suits you the best. And the card (size, thickness and so on…) itself can be customized too. Overview The filament sample contains the following information about the filament material: - Brand - Series and Color - Type - Optional extra (fx. price, temperature or something else..)

Customize it! You can add text in multiple ways: - Print a default version with only material type added in the model, and add label or write with a marker afterwards. - Add text in the slicer (easy to do in fx. Bambu Studio - see attached files!) - Customize text and/or size in the OpenSCAD file - easily done online on MakerWorld’s Parametric Model Maker. Customize → Download → Slice → Print!

OpenSCAD options

The OpenSCAD model that you can customize online, has a lot of options for you to find what you like the best! Here are some of them: - Materials (20+ options or custom)

- Material Brands (15+ options or custom) - Material Types/Series (30+ options or custom) - Material Color (60+ options or custom) - Text sizes - Text styles (default, bold, narrow, extra narrow - or a combination) - Custom text - Size of sample card (length, height, thickness, corner radius, border…) - and more!..

Edit custom text in slicer Here is how to edit custom text in slicer (in Bambu Studio): - Click on the Filament Sample with the ‘Custom’ text on - In the side-panel on the left, click on Objects (next to Process / Global) - Expand the Favorite Filament Sample by pressing the little arrow - Right click on either 'PLA', ‘Color’ or ‘Title’ and press Edit text - Adjust text and size to your liking - Optional: if needed move the text around on the model - simply drag on the pink square in the middle of the text (visible after you pressed Edit text above..)

Print instructions This is easy - but a few tips: - Layer height: 0.2 (makes the layer transparency equal for all layers of that part) - Brim: No, not needed - Nozzle size: 0.4 works just fine

Happy printing!
