Filament Sample Box | Infill / Color Swatch | Fully Printable
Description
PDFProbably the most popular filament sample on Printables comes with a set of storage boxes in various sizes, 100% printable!
I designed the box so that you don't need any additional parts, no screws, no magnets.
There are two different samples + many more in the Remixes tab!
The lock and the bolts for the hinge are simply plugged in after printing. There is also a strip for labeling, which you can do directly in the slicer or later by hand.The lock and the bolts for the hinge are simply plugged in after printing.

The box is available in different sizes, from 30 to 180 slots in case you want to build up a complete database of filaments. The smallest box with 30 slots fits on a print bed of 180mm, the larger boxes need a print bed of 330mm.
The strip for labeling is 100mm long, you can simply scale it to the desired length in the slicer, so you can adjust it to the required number of slots it should cover.
Print all parts as aligned, supports are not required. The clip and pins have snap-in points, make sure before printing that your filament is not over or under extruded to get the correct fit. The clip needs to be pushed into its place with a little force.
There are two different types of samples. Sample-A has different thicknesses so you can determine how translucent your filament is. Sample-B is simply flat, with this you can show different infills for example by increasing the number of perimeters and setting the top and bottom layers to zero.
Also have a look at the Remixes tab, there are many more samples from other users!

I have slightly enlarged the filament samples, there are two versions. One version with different layer thicknesses to show the light transmission and a flat version from which you can make an infillsample. Print it with 5 wall lines but without top and bottom layers. Furthermore, the box was slightly widened, since the outer slots in the area of the magnetic closure were somewhat narrower. In addition, the cards are now guided in the front and back, so that it looks neater. What you need:
Tip: You can also use shorter screws. Not ideal, but works as well. Update: |

Model origin
The author remixed this model.
Differences of the remix compared to the original
The modifications relate exclusively to the outdated box design.
I have modified the model according to my wishes and additionally created a version which is printed in two parts and connected with two M3x30 screws, as well as a version which fits on the Prusa Mini and one with only 20 slots for samples. The other will hold 30 filament samples.
I enlarged the holes for the four magnets, now 8x3mm magnets fit inside. For this, a pause is inserted in the slicer at a height of 22.2mm and then the magnet inserted with some glue or tape.
