Frequently Asked Questions

Why not use one of the dozens of material chips already on printables/makerworld/thang/thingiverse?

These chips match into the sets available as part of The Print Codex. We sell complete sets of pre-printed chips at theprintcodex.com so that you can see colors up front and don't need to spend your hard earned money on filament you may not use.

Which brands are included?

Check out the chiplist.txt file for a full list.

You are missing Brand/Material X!

Leave us a comment and we'll add it! There are A LOT of materials and brands out there. We are always happy to add more.

Why don't the chips have the color debossed into them?

Ideally they would, but that would result in a magnitude more of files to manage and require scraping a lot more data. Probably best for you to add yourself!

How should I store my chips?

We have a variety of storage accessories including:

  • Storage Box
  • Gridfinity Storage Solution
  • Skadis Storage Solution
  • Labels & Display Stands

Or pop them on a keyring.

Print instructions

All models should be sliced with your preferred material settings, 0.2mm layers, 5 top layers, 5 bottom layers. no supports. This will ensure the chip is solid and no infill is visible with transparent filaments.

Excellent color/filament swatch. Doesn't use a lot of material and is easy to make labels for. Printed without any issues. It's the first thing I print after getting a new color or type of filament.

These work great for solid colors. Dual and Tri-color filaments do not show all the color variations as well as an object with more depth
