Filamentcolors.xyz is a digital catalog of filament from around the globe, curated with the purpose of helping people find the perfect colors for their project. We print and photograph every filament under the same conditions, allowing users to compare different colors directly. We also measure the color and report this as a hex color, and use that to calculate complementary colors, similar filaments, and even similar colors in other materials to help users perfectly plan their projects. We’re a hobby project and always growing through filament donations and partnerships, so keep checking back to find your favorite filaments!

I'm always using razor blades for various things in 3D printing/prints. The wide flat one I even use to pry up purge lines or little sticky bits left behind on prints. I thought this was a nice set.

This is both a simple and complicated project. Simple as it doesn't need much as far as equipment, complicated if you customize the song...

I picked music box devices that have my favorite classical song... Fur Elise... but if you'd like to customize the song and create your own drum, this video provides instructions... there is a link in the description of the video to a github for the code to generate the STL from a song.
