What it does
- Tiny swatches fit in your pocket so you can show friends your exact filament colors anytime, anywhere.
- Prints in under 10 minutes, so you get organized fast without wasting time or plastic.
- String them on a keychain cable to keep all your colors together and easy to grab when you need them.
- Smooth edges mean no sharp bits, plus you can fidget with them while you think about your next project.
- Solves the gift problem, so you never have to guess what colors someone already owns.
Stop guessing what filament colors you have. These tiny swatches show your exact hues in a size that fits your pocket. When someone asks what colors you can print, you hand them your keychain and problem solved.
Each swatch is 15mm by 30mm, big enough to see the real color but small enough to not take up space. A 5mm hole lets you thread them onto a wire keychain cable or string. No fancy design, no wasted plastic, no sharp edges to worry about. Just simple, useful organization that prints in minutes.
Your filament collection becomes portable. Gift-givers know exactly what you need. You can finally answer the question, "What colors do you have?" Keep your swatches on a cheap cable keychain from any online store and carry your entire color library with you.

What it is made of
Designs like this print well in PLA. Compare the materials.
Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
