I recently got my first 3D printer to my place just a couple weeks ago! I thought it would be really nice to keep a small sample of each of my filaments printed out so that I have a readily-available example of what each actually looks like.

Does anybody else do this? If so, which part(s) do you use? I spent probably 15-20 minutes looking for a nice, small, low-poly object that I really liked.

    I do a benchy whenever I get new filament. It’s relatively small and since it’s technically a torture test it lets me know if there are any potential issues to look out for with that particular one.

      Can’t knock that. I of course knocked out a benchy when I first started out, but I figured I’m not much of a boat guy haha

        And to solve your filament label problem, although clunky, you can use some masking tape and a sharpie
