Description
In trying to create a certain lighting effect, sometimes it's really useful to know how light will play with a certain filament, or set of filaments together. Whether it's UV light for glow filaments or visible light for a lamp shade, sometimes you need a bit of help to guess the right material thickness. This set of test patches with labeled numbers should help with this.
These patches are 40x40 rounded squares. Thickness sizes 0.2-1.0 mm are printed at 0.1 mm layer height as they increment at 0.1 mm, and then sizes 1.2-3.0 mm are in 0.2 mm increments, and thereafter 0.4 mm increments.
I hope this is useful to someone else who needs to quickly assess filament thickness with swatches.
3MFs and STEP included along with all-in-one bambu studio print setup for PETG prints.
