Looked for a swatch and small test that I didn't have to keep editing the model to match the material information. I didn't find one so I made one. I could have probably used one of the other ones, but I always want an excuse to use Fusion 360.
This is an FDM printer filament swatch that also acts as a small test for functionality. More info in the image or below. This is designed to use a 1in. x 1in. / 26mm x 26mm label for information about filament name and printing settings.
The dimensions of the swatch is modeled at 72mm x 34mm x 2mm with various areas with small functionality tests such as overhangs and layer height.
Note: I did have to glue the label to my TPU, but you may have better luck.

1in. x 1in. / 26mm x 26mm label location.
