I used the Filament Book from 3D Printy until I reached a stupid amount of cards and wasn't really sure how to sort them properly.
I stumbled upon the “Box and Filament Samples” by Zapador. I liked the design and the wall-mounted idea. The cards are nice but lacked some great features from 3D Printy that I grew accustomed to. Mainly the “Star” that allows you to have a favorite-icon to quickly find your main Filaments.
Additionally, I wanted the temperature range of the Filament on the card so I don't have to dig for the information on the side of the spool when it's still packaged or somewhere not reachable.
So I modified the files to properly reflect these changes.
On the Bambulab-Reddit I found numerous questions for the inlay-cards and why they have banding when printed together so I split the inlay-card from the main openscad-file in order to print them individually or add both of them to the same buildplate if wanted.
On top of that I saw that the original inlay-card had some markings on it. I assume that it was to show sidewall-behavior like indents and corners. I added an embossed text-sample to it to show details better.

Changelog 2024-01-09:
v2 of the OpenSCAD file is released now (including experimental).
The font size can now be modified!
Attention: When Chosing the font size, keep the printer accuracy in mind. A font size too small will lead to bad text that might be unreadable.
Changelog 2024-05-02:
Added Buildplate-Swatch. The Swatch is a blank and slimmed down card in the same outer dimensions as the usual ones. The card is intended to be used as a showpiece of the different textures and Holographic patterns for all the different buildplates.
Add 3D Text from your Slicer of Choice to show what Plate was used. The underside will then show the surface texture accordingly. This makes it easy to show friends and clients the patterns and styles you can offer.
Changelog 2023-11-07:
Added EXPERIMENTAL Folder. This OpenSCAD File enables the Fillet-Library from Adam DeMuri (GitHub) to be used.
To use the Experimental Fillet-Feature, download the GitHub Repository and extract it in the same directory as your OpenSCAD File.
Please note:
The Fillet-Library is heavy on resources. Configure your Swatch to your liking, edit the text and before you render your card, enable the fillet under “Experimental”.

Changes in detail:
Made the OpenSCAD from Zapador more customizable & cleaned up the Customizer. Removed the Inlay from the main swatch so it won't produce banding-issues when using fast printers like Bambu P1P or X1C. Inlay is now a seperate Openscad-File and can be modified with sample-text to showcase embossed text in sidewalls.
Recreated some features from the Filament Swatch Book from 3D Printy in this OpenSCAD. Mainly the Favorite-Star that I liked so much. Additionally, I added the Temperature-Range to this Swatchcard aswell so it's an easy reference without digging up the spool.
The author remixed this model.
