great print! No supports required. The magnets were a little hard to place but I managed, and as a happy accident I flipped the polarity on the middle two magnets on the base, so I did the same on the top. There is a satisfying click when they connect.

Totally agree with the click when putting the lid on! Glad you like my print. Thank you for your review 👍

With the update, this print profile is perfect. I printed in single color PLA and am now proudly using it to hold and display my Bambu swatches.

a very satisfying swatch holder, I printed the bottom out of PLA-CF and the cover out of translucent PETG

Love it! Printed with the plastics listed (PLA-CF Jeans Blue + two Matte). The upper was printed on textured plate. I'll add magnets soon ☺️ Thank you! It's very convenient and beautiful

Might want to double check this project. I printed as-is in a single color of PLA and ran into two problems: - The slots are too tight to actually accept the Bambu filament swatches. I'm thinking that scaling up something like 5% should fix this. - The bottom and top X & Y dimensions do not match. Bottom is 133 x 120. Top is 129 x 125. Should be another simple fix, but it's something you need to be aware of before you print. Otherwise, I really like this project. It looks good and prints sturdy. I'm going to double check some measurements and then try printing again.

Thanks for letting me know. I will temporary remove the printing profile. In the meantime the raw file is available which is design to the correct dimension along with the slot for the swatches are design correctly. I will have this issue fixed shortly.

Replying to @nguyeken :

The new profile worked great! I printed in single color with PLA and both the swatches and the magnets fit perfectly. Thank you for the quick work on the update.
