Swatch Truck

Introducing the Swatch Truck! This was created for the Printables “Filament Sample Swatches” competition. Designed in onshape, my goal was to create a fast, easy to print model that could test a variety of useful features in a short amount of time (~30 minutes) and use minimal filament (less than 10g). There is space on the back to write the filament brand/colorUpdate: I added a 3mf file with separate parts to test multi color extruders!Print settings: 0.2mm layers, 40%+ grid type infill, 40mm/s surface speed.Here are the features:Flow test: Using a surface flow method, the large flat surfaces can help calibrate your extrusion multiple in the slicer. To test, set the top layers to around 10 (assuming 0.2mm layers, make sure there are at least 2 layers of infill), 40%+ infill (a grid type works best), and a top layer line with equal to the nozzle size (0.4mm for a 0.4mm nozzle etc). The finish should be smooth to the touch with no visible gaps between the lines. Note that the extruder e
