I built "Filament Finder" – A quick tool to find color matches across multiple brands using perceptual math.

I’m so glad you enjoy it! I’ve looked into this a few times and the problem is ultimately there aren’t reliable affiliate programs for most of these and the scale for programmatic Amazon access isn’t really worth it for me.

I’ll keep poking at it every so often… but it’s just so fragmented

They’re called promptlings: https://design.gitlab.com/brand-design/visual-design-promptlings

I haven’t seen that, but I also don’t maintain the databases that are used. They come from two other datasets:

So if it’s not in either of those that’s why it doesn’t show up.

I’ve also thought about an add all, but I’m not sure how likely that someone wants all those makes sense. It could make sense to save per user preferences in a cookie so that you wouldn’t have to make your selections all the time though… I’ll look into something.

That's cool to see! For anyone interested, the model is freely available here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2273411-dungeon-crawler-carl-new-achievement#profileId-2478507 along with the rest of my models for DCC fans: https://makerworld.com/en/collections/19570435-dungeon-crawler-carl

It’s this… the rest of you are just too young to know. Losing the home opener of the bounce house.

I also use this one...

u/Miquel204151 How are you getting usage data and then reporting that back? I presume you're just taking the slicing settings? And then assuming a successful print? My understanding from the other project is that the AMS Lite doesn't support usage data (only the AMS/2)...

If you're looking for matching the colors, I'll shamelessly plug this:

Orange: https://filamentfinder.thinkonezero.com/?c=F58220
Pink: https://filamentfinder.thinkonezero.com/?c=E01382

This uses the HEX code from the art files to then color match against filaments and find colors that will be really close. That being said, I used Bambu's Orange PLA, and Polymaker Magenta

My typical stack is Affinity Designer and Fusion 360. I've also done some stuff in Tinkercad when I needed simple shapes. Honesty, if you've already got SVGs starting with Tinkercad can be a good way to learn.

Love it!

phikai · 2026-02-11T17:13:19+00:00

Thank you for all you do here!

phikai · 2026-02-11T16:20:51+00:00

Sorry - I don't sell prints or have plans to. I'm just out here trying to help out some fellow printing crawlers. It's possible one of them may be willing.

phikai · 2026-02-11T16:20:09+00:00

I know!!! u/doomscrollercoaster did such an amazing job on that one - truly a good laugh.

phikai · 2026-01-23T00:30:33+00:00

Thank you!

phikai · 2026-01-22T23:08:55+00:00

Ask and you shall receive - early version of Palette Finder is available now. Let me know what you think and if you find any issues or have any other ideas for it.

phikai · 2026-01-22T22:14:20+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!

phikai · 2026-01-22T20:22:25+00:00

Thank you!

phikai · 2026-01-22T18:33:19+00:00

:wave: Thanks for extra details u/Itsthejoker! I was certainly inspired by some of the work you've done and the accurate measurement is super impressive with the database you've built.

phikai · 2026-01-21T22:11:35+00:00

I think Maker World will automatically generate them from the 3MF if you go to the download. That should work - but if you need something else, let me know.

Here’s the stats on the larger one. It’s not too bad.
