Here you go! Easily customizable box for filament samples of every size and stores the amount of swatches you have. You can add text, opening in the lid to showcase the colors, and even change the angle of the samples for ease of use! \u201cJust a box\u201d... well maybe a little over-engineered. Whoops. But enjoy!

Fits perfect for my Favorite Filament Sample - also easily customizable! check it out!

Overview

This box can be printed for many different sample cards. Just adjust it to your needs! Customize size, text and more in the OpenSCAD file - easily done online on MakerWorld\u2019s Parametric Model Maker. Customize \u2192 Download \u2192 Slice \u2192 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:

Parts (what to generate and print)

Box
Lid
Both (box and lid)
Spacer (to fill out empty space in box, or to separate \u2018sections\u2019 of brand or color)
Amount of samples (how many to fit in the box)
Angle of samples (from 0 to 45 degrees)
- 0 degrees: can customize the separators between samples
- 1-45 degrees: separators are not there - makes it easy to flip through samples afterwards to find the right one!
Size of sample (what size are your samples? Default: 75x35x2 mm)
Text (fx. \u2018Filament\u2019, \u2018Bambu Lab\u2019, \u2018Polymaker\u2019, \u2018PLA\u2019, \u2018PETG\u2019 or what suits your needs)
- 2 texts
- Select size and font
Opening in lid (custom width of opening to expose samples - or no opening)
and more\u2026 (grib, locking, dimensions, tolerances, spacers..)

Assembly

Just fill the box with your samples and put the lid on - sounds simple right?

Text in single or multicolor

If you set the depth of text to 0.02 - you need to paint it in Bambu Studio.

If you set it to 0.2 - the text doesn't need to be painted - it will show (although not too much) with a single color print.

Print instructions

Nothing too fancy here. But a few ideas:

Orientation: Should be right from the start. Lid flipped over.
Walls: 2-3 to be sturdy for use
Brim: Should not be needed, but if you have a big opening in the lid, it can help on adhesion.

Happy printing!
