3D Filament Profiles update: stats and new features
Hey folks. It's been a busy couple of weeks for the site. We are single digits away from 350 profiles (currently at 346) and 150 members (currently 146). Hopefully the database is proving useful for you. As always, if there are any feature requests, please let me know.
Search
If you haven't already seen it, I added a much-requested feature last week - Search. You can now search for any combination of terms across all the key fields in the database. So if you are looking for just "PETG", or "Yellow Matte PLA" the search box has you covered.
You can also go straight to a particular brand or brand/material combination if you like to stick to one vendor, for example for just Bambu Labs: https://3dfilamentprofiles.com/filaments/bambu-lab
To get to the shortcuts, click on the brand or material from the filament detail page:
New Label Format
I also added the ability to download the filament swatch label as a PNG file for those whose printers use a different file format. The PNG is scaled appropriately to fit a 40x30mm label as per spec.
Other items Also as requested, I added:
- scroll bars to better fit the edit dialog on smaller monitors
- an extra decimal place on kValues
- edit button on the filament details page
Patreon
Lastly, based on user suggestions, I have set up a Patreon page for anyone who wants to contribute to the running of the site. Membership is entirely optional and shall remain that way, but the option is there if you feel so inclined.
Thank you for all your support. This has been a labor of love of mine for most of this year, so I am excited to see it being used as much as it is.
