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.

You can see what the filament looks like by looking at the filament.
Those are the worst looking d20s I’ve ever seen.
;-)
Huh, so they’re pragmatic after all
They kinda look like Easter eggs that didn’t render properly
Still waiting for the texture pop to hit
I use benchy for it!
That’s pretty good-looking too. And may I ask which filament your Mac-n-cheese colored one is? (Maybe it’s just the lighting - doesn’t look true orange)
It’s a janbex pla orange filament. And yeah, it’s a little lighter orange and not a too intense orange.
I do the cali cat at half size (because I have no patience). They look cute and you get a performance review for the filament as well as color.
They are cute! Seeing people even making shelves for them lol. Didn’t know this was a thing
I like the gold one, in the back. Can I see a close up of It? It’s really pretty.
Sure! My gold came out really nice. As a bonus, I also tried printing one of the amogus ghosts in good, and it’s probably the nicest print I’ve had yet. Can’t even see the layer lines!
That’s crazy pretty!! Thanks!
Yes, with https://www.printables.com/model/272073-dachshund-low-poly (printed at 50% scale)
Love it! Saving this one for later.
I always print a low poly cat I found years ago on thingiverse, you can see it on this timelapse video, there are also a handful of the other ones I’ve printed at the end.
Doing the same with almost all my filaments. I picked the Cali-Dragon model since it also somewhat benchmarks the filament and printers. Basically a nicer Benchy
Can’t you just look at the spool?
Some filaments look much different when printed than they look on the spool. Matte, shiny, multi-colored ones for example.
Not when I run out in the future! I also found out that the silk gold I’m using definitely printed different/shinier than I was expecting, based on the spool filament.
