After a frustrating spate of layer shift failures in the shop, we identified wonky old flash drives as one contributing factor to corrupting G-code files. We replaced them with fresh drives and told clients to follow a strict digital hygiene regimen: only use the drives associated with a particular machine, and only for printing. Along with other remedies, this has virtually eliminated layer shifting.

But how to tell which drives belong to specific machines at a glance? We have 6 FDM printers and 3 resin printers. Enter this lovely name tag.

I combined this with a key ring from @Elbarto919:

But I think Printables would only want to see this in one place.

By the way, the names? We've named our printers after famous spiders just for laughs.

I printed this using Prusament Galaxy Black and Silk Silver PLA, and it turned out beautifully—perfect for Christmas gift name tags! Thank you for sharing this wonderful design. Glow in the dark looks really Great! (edited)

Thank you for sharing. Especially access to the Tinkercad file. I'm new to 3D printing and learned a lot tinkering with your file.
