3D model description

Make a filament swatch to see how a filament looks printed and how your printer handles the filament with the embedded mini torture tests.

This is my take on a filament swatch, based on a model on Thingiverse.

Designed from scratch in Fusion360, using the original model as a starting point, adding my own touch.

Features:
- Thickness/transparency test
- Overhang test
- Gaps test
- Wall thickness test
- Hole diameter test
- M3 screw size hole
- Posts diameter test which doubles as stringing test
- Sharp inside and outside corners test
- A smooth feature
- A slope feature
- The grip features on the side double as bed adhesion test. It now also fits another swatch next to it as a tolerance test or just good for fidgeting with them :)

Off course these torture tests aren't up to it compared to a real torture test, but should at least give some indication.

3D printing settings

The ideal print layer height is 0.1mm but 0.2mm also works nice. I honestly usually use 0.2mm.

For true transparency test use 100% infill. If not important, I print with 15% honeycomb.
