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.
I use something like this to keep an example of filaments I have used. It is customizable to you can add your own text.

Nota bene that author asks that folks use the printables link so they can earn filament from the downloads. It's linked in that thingiverse entry but here's the direct link:

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 use this one. There are probably better ones, but now I have holders and cases for them, so there's no going back now.
Thanks for sharing! I may end up switching to something like this and use my eggs elsewhere for decoration
