Edit 2023.05.25: Added a dial without text for cross-function uses.

If you use dry boxes or anything where you can't see the side of the spool you may have been in the same situation as me.  

“What's in the box?”  No.. not that movie.  What is in my dry box?  And better yet, some spools dont even have labels!

Hence the birth of the material selector dial.  Set and see what is in there.  The following 8 filaments are selectable:

  • PLA
  • PETG
  • PP
  • TPU
  • ABS
  • Nylon
  • PC
  • Empty space for user definition.

Assembly is quite simple.  For the front cover, two sesigns are available:

  • with hook (for hanging)
  • without hook (for taping, glueing, whatever you need)
  1. Just place the dial into the back cover and ensure the two levers on the top and bottom engage the dial.
  2. Align the half-moon cut-out and press the top cover onto the back cover. Done!

 

Pro Tip: Print the dial seperatly and add a filament swap half way through. This gives you the different color text.

How to mount it?  Well, I use 3M tape or the hook.  But this is something best left to your creativity based on the type and orientation of the boxes you have.

 

Happy Printing!
