Filament Swatches (Multiple Materials)

UPDATE: 02/23/2026

I ended up with a desire to remake these, so that's what I did. While they are basically the same overall dimensions, there are some changes such as fillets and chamfering to see how each materials handles accuracy of small chamfers, fillets, etc. They also just look better. I have left most of the old files in the "V1" folder in case someone still needs to access them.

I made these myself to get better with Fusion360, and customize exactly what swatches I needed for the materials I print.

These are larger than most swatches, coming in at 40mm x 40mm x 5mm overall. The steps at the top are 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm thick. With certain varieties of filament, the steps show the difference in light transmission at different material thicknesses.

The text is 2.5mm tall with the base below the text being 2.5mm as well. I have included a top down technical drawing view to show the other dimensions.

Obviously, settings are going to depend dramatically on the filament type, brand, etc. and printer specs, so I am not going to recommend any. Print with whatever you would normally use for these materials.

I can easily edit the text to a new label, so if I missed any that you would like, let me know and I will create and add it here. NOTE: I know the thumbnail shows these with multi-color labels; this was done to make the text easy to read for the thumbnail, and is NOT recommended when printing.

Currently available models:

PLA, PLA+, PLA-CF, PETG, PETG-CF, ABS, ABS-CF, ABS-GF, ASA, ASA-CF, PET-CF, PET-GF, PA-CF, PA-GF, PPA-CF, PPS-GF, PPS-CF, PVA, CoPE, TPU, TPE, PC, PP, HIPS, PVDF and just for fun, PEI, PEKK and PEEK

(Although I did make these 100% from scratch in Fusion360 with all custom dimensions, the overall design idea was inspired by these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2225478)
