Remixed Prusa XL Nozzle Size Markers with Editable Text

You should download the original @akamaka dual marker model from which this is remixed, or the “Simplified” original model, if you only need a single spinner. Use the central axle part from their original design, but print these marker pieces, either using my existing labels or after customizing to change your own labels in Fusion 360 or other CAD software that can import the .f3d or STEP files.

I built these entirely in Fusion 360 based on measurements of @akamaka's original design. I have made every effort to make these exactly the same as the original design, except that I have posted the original CAD files (in Fusion 360 format) so that you can change the text as desired.

The “first” level is what I'm calling the upper marker on the dual-marker version, or the only marker on the single-marker version. The “second” level is the bottom marker, and is for the dual-marker version only.

For first and second markers, I've provided versions with the filament type or nozzle diameter, and also blank versions with no text. You could use a P-Touch labeler to create labels to stick on the blank ones if you don't want to print the text with filament.

To make the text legible: I found that I needed to use the 0.25mm nozzle and a 0.15mm layer height. Otherwise, the features are quite small and the text can be too blurry. If you only have the 0.4mm nozzle, give it a try, but if it's too blurry maybe use the blank version and a label maker instead of printing the labels with filament. See the screenshot in the photos for the only other print settings I changed. I printed these in Prusament PLA. For what it's worth, I did try printing the text in Prusa Orange, but found that the white was easier to read.

If you print my 3MF versions that have text, when you open them in Prusa Slicer, it will ask you if it should open them as a single object with multiple parts. You'll want to say yes. Then you can set the filaments for the text and the main object accordingly.

If you use the Fusion files to edit the text, that should then be exported as a 3MF so that Prusa Slicer can open it as a multi-part object suitable for having the filaments assigned.

Note that like the originals, these can be a little bit challenging to get to fit over the stiff plastic cable/Bowden support pieces. I used a flat-blade screwdriver to help spread the gap open a bit and get it started. Then it slips right on. Just be patient and you'll get it.

Current Labels

As delivered, the models have the following labels (which you can edit as described above):

First (top/only) level: PLA, PETG, ASA, TPU, BVOH, OTH (other)

Second (lower) level: 0.4, .4OX (ObXidian), .4HF (high flow), 0.25, 0.6, OTH (other)
