I visited a shop recently where they had printed models to sample the colours and texture of filaments they were selling. I loved the idea of seeing the colour and feeling the texture of the filament.

It made me re-think the printing of swatches but still needed to print something small with lots of information on them.

These are 30x30x25 cubes I print with the filament I am sampling. Then after a 'pause and swop', I finish the print with a QR code containing text of the filament's information using a contrasting colour or the same type.

Pauses should be placed around Layer 126 or 127 on all of them on Creality Print. It might be different for others. Please check before your print.

This was only for my personal use, but I thought I'd share them.

Please consider giving a 'LIKE' if you find these useful in any way.

Add your pause on Layer 126/127, depending on your slicer.

Use a contrasting colour for the code so that the phone can read it easily.
