FCS Skadis Storage Solution
Description
PDFThis storage tray allows you to display 25 of your Filament Color System Chips (FCS) in Ikea's Skadis System.
FCS Features
- Easily determine material and brand of past prints. Each chip has the brand and material debossed onto the top face.
- Each chip is 48.2mm x 48.2mm x 2mm. This should be large enough to measure using a spectrophotometer.
- Each chip is 4g of material. Minimal material used and takes ~30min to print.
- Two thicknesses allow you to get a sense of opacity of each color.
- 4mm hole allows chips to be attached to a keychain or piece of string forming a color pallete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why not use one of the dozens of material chips already on printables/thang/thingiverse?
I wanted each chip to have sufficient information to determine the specific material and reorder it. This is possible by having both the debossed brand and material on each chip. I wasnt able to find a collection of chips elsewhere that had this.
You are missing Brand/Material X!
Leave me a comment and I'll add it! There are ALOT of materials and brands out there. I have added the ones I am aware off but always happy to add more.
Why dont the chips have the color debossed into them?
Primarily because that would result in a magnitude more files to manage and require scrapping alot more data.
Secondly, most people can see the color of each chip. So outside of a few rare cases where a single brand has 2 similair colors of the same material, it shouldnt be an issue.
Print instructions
Printed in PLA, 10% infill, supports are needed for the hooks. Print with the primary face down.
