Swatchify

Summary

Bulk generates customizable filament swatches based on the Filament Swatch by Makkuro from inventory data in a CSV file.

Features

reads a CSV file with the manufacturer, material, color and print temperature information
generates the right parameter set to render filament swatches
outputs a hierarchical filesystem tree with swatches grouped by material and manufacturer
parallelizes the rendering process by running one OpenSCAD process per (logical) CPU core.

Tech

Written in Rust
Concurrent processing based on Rayon

Usage

Run swatchify --help and swatchify generate --help to see supported options. Running swatchify generate --inventory 'Filaments.csv' -d Swatches will read filament details from the Filaments.csv file and render the filament swatches into the Swatches directory. Missing output directories are automatically created.

By default existing filament swatches are not re-created to save time, add --force as an option to recreate all filament swatches from scratch.

The CSV file is expected to have four columns: manufacturer, material, color and temperature. The order of the columns should not matter as long as the first line of the CSV file is a header line.

Example CSV file:

anufacturer,material,color,temperature
eSun,PLA,Orange,210
Fiberlogy,PLA,Vertigo,215
Hatchbox,PETG,Black,235
Hatchbox,PLA,White,215
