Filament swatch's with text in Bambu Studio
Print Profile(1)

Description
The original is a great swatch using a free editor.
I chose to make one that can be edited directly in Bambu Studio. There are a few tricks to this. Have not tried it, but it should work in Orca slicer. Some of the work arounds might change with future versions of B Studio. I uploaded a video showing the steps.
- The file is set up for print by object. To Minimize poop.
- Erase the ones that you don’t need to edit. If you have multiple AMS, you might add a couple more to the same build plate.
- The Text is directly within B Studio. So it is easier to edit. To edit the text:
- Switch from “Global” to “Object” mode.
- Pick the swatch you want to edit.
- Under the swatch are two text objects, one is the type, the other is the color.
- To edit one; Right mouse click on it, and select “Edit text” at the bottom of the window that pops up, change the text. Be careful to not make the txt to small to be print legible. Might look fine on screen, but the print depends on your printer.
- To move the text grab the text by dragging the cube in the middle of the text. My system has a pink cube, yours might be different.
- After the text is edited. Right click on the text, and change the type from “part” to “Negative”. Do this for both text objects. You could leave as raised text rather than recessed. But the swatch stack-up is more, and some of the small parts of the text might break off.
- If you have more edits after you set it from “Negative” to “Part” before you can edit the text.
There is a place to put the raw un extruded filament in from the top edge.
I chose to make my own infill samples that are thicker than the others I have seen. For some of the adaptive infills this is useful. By “adaptive” I mean they change based on the depth. They are the same size as the filament swatches to go in the same box. The other change is using the Bambu Studio text. To edit the above method is needed.
The top of the different filament samples has a notch in the top edge. to easily recognize the file type from the edge. The thickness is too thin to add text. Fine text is hard to read.
I have found it easiest to not print or edit the first two plates. Make the 3rd build plate active. Then pick the appropriate body on plate 1 or two and create a copy with control “K”. the copy shows up on the active plate. After you have put the number you will print on the plate. Edit the text and move them around to not interfere with each other. Change the filament type for the different objects. The print profile is set to finish one object at a time. While you are moving the object you can see an offset line that you need to keep other objects out of. The goal of this is to minimize the Poop. If you have 2 AMS you can it 8 swatchs on a build plate of an X1c. I had all the ready to edit on one plate but Maker World would not let them be uploaded that close together. You can move them closer together on plate 1.
The step file is a blank file that does not have any text.
