The swatches have been the most common answer so far, I think. I’ll likely switch over to something like that in the future and use the eggs for some other decoration or whatever

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 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)

Love it! Saving this one for later.

Huh, so they're pragmatic after all

Thanks for sharing! I may end up switching to something like this and use my eggs elsewhere for decoration

Nice, I like this too! I wish I had thought of the keyword “swatch” when first thinking about this

Still waiting for the texture pop to hit

Can't knock that. I of course knocked out a benchy when I first started out, but I figured I'm not much of a boat guy haha

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.

They are cute! Seeing people even making shelves for them lol. Didn't know this was a thing

I've been trying to figure out how I'll keep track of which filament corresponds to which egg in the future when I have a lot of them. Yours takes care of that. Solid choice

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.
