3D Printing Custom Colors with Markers?!

Ғылым және технология

Here's one nifty trick big filament doesn't wan't you to know! Unless they sell a sweet transparent filament, that is...
In this video I dove deeper into the technique of using permanent markers to add color to filament before printing, testing various markers, filaments, and machines to see what works and what doesn't.

    Aahha yeah I remember that spray paint experiment. IIRC the silver had the same issues with ruining print layer adhesion but (at the time) no other filaments looked like it. I might have to steal the pink black combo it's gorgeous!

    Hey! Glad you saw this. In the video he asks for next steps. I think your experience with robots maybe necessary for step 2 (3?, the servo motors).. See below: So next steps: add servo motors to the pen holders so they can be shifted on and off the fillament automatically. That way the color changes can become more smooth and you don't have to sit there doing it manually. The next step after that is add the servo* motor's movement to the GCode and have the pens be applied only when coloring specific parts of the print. EG: printing a man, start with a translucent skin tone, tell the GCode to only apply the blue/black pen when printing his pants. Apply red when printing his shirt. Don't apply the pens when printing his hands/face, apply the brown/black/yellow/green(?) when printing his hair.

    @@Scott_C Stepper motors are way too complicated for what can be done with a solenoid or servos. You want on/off type off action, not carefully controlled axis of rotation. Arduino probably is needed to handle a simple logic so that for ex 4 bits of information (can be done in decimal too..) can be used to control 4 colors. What you don't want is a bunch of datalines when all you need is to control few things on/off. Also, different kind of tip for the sharpie would decrease the number of pens needed. Quite sure that 2 is enough if the tip is carved to a different shape. I am thinking about a chamber that the filament goes into, dips into a bath of solvent based ink or goes thru a sponge. Using individual sharpies is nice way for a proof of concept but.. it needs to be colored in one stage, using one thing, not multiple separate things.

    Thanks for doing all of that experimentation! Two things I learned from my own: 1. Using a brown marker (...or multiple markers in different shades of brown) with wood filament will give it pseudo-grain markings. You only want the very tip to touch so as to leave a thin streak, as you *don't* want even coverage. I used this technique to print a plaque as a gift for a friend and it was *very* effective. 2. You can use a jumbo marker and drill a hole through the felt for complete coverage in one shot.

    Few ideas for you: What if you used some alcohol based CYMK ink in tanks. Then run tubes from each color tank to just before the hot end, where the ink is dripped on to a conical rubber wiper that the filament passes through. A felt ring would hold too much ink and reduce the color resolution I think, but that could be another option. The extruder itself seems to mix the colors pretty well. Here are a couple of methods I thought of for physically controlling the inks: a) the tanks could be pressurized with compressed air and controlled by solenoids. b) a peristaltic pump could be used on the output tube of each tank.. Control seems like it would take a lot of trial and error to work out the kinks. OR. What if you designed a bracket for inkjet printer ink cartridges. Modern Ink cartridges include the print head directly in them, so it should be possible to print on to filament with only that. Probably better to pick a cartridge model that has individual color cartridges, so it is simpler to align all the print print heads to the filament. I'm not sure what control signal the cartridges use - it might be easier to hack up an old printer so that you can use its control board too. OR. What if you some how fed Laser printer toner into the heat break. Laser toner works by hot melting around 100C. It may be possible to color filament using that for much more economically than inkjet cartridges.

Print heads with built-in ink applicators are bound to happen and just simplify 3d printing to an extreme degree. Clear or white filament could get one almost any color and color could be changed at any step during the print or even continuously. Amazing.

    But you'd hat to perfectly time the servos to work reliably. I thought about it too but the following problem came up when thinking further. Lets say you calibrate that add-on by measuring the time (x) it takes from applying the sharpie and seeing the colorchange on your nozzle. (lets assume you constantly print with 100% flowrate) Then you tell your servos to apply the sharpie x amount of time before your colored G-Code is executed. The moment you have to retract, you already mix up the pigments in your hotend. So you cannot work reliably with your colors as they mix up, come too early due to retraction messing things up or whatnot. I try to think of coming up with a solution to this but it's hard :-D

    Amazing! So next steps: add servo motors to the pen holders so they can be shifted on and off the fillament automatically. That way the color changes can become more smooth and you don't have to sit there doing it manually. The next step after that is add the servo motor's movement to the GCode and have the pens be applied only when coloring specific parts of the print. EG: printing a man, start with a translucent skin tone, tell the GCode to only apply the blue/black pen when printing his pants. Apply red when printing his shirt. Don't apply the pens when printing his hands/face, apply the brown/black/yellow/green(?) when printing his hair. Also so glad you tried the metallic markers I suggested. Thanks for exploring that idea.

    The issue I see with the timer idea is that the time the printer takes to create a single layer is different for every layer. So maybe something could be triggered off of counting movements in the Z-direction to allow for a uniform color change per X# of layers?

    Wow, that looks so beautiful. I was having a conversation about something similar with some friends yesterday. I think the next step is use standard printer techniques onto 3D printers. So having the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black and maybe white ink/pigment cartridges on top of the DD and literally print the colours directly onto the transparent filament before it goes through the hot end. With a bit of technical magic, the potential is full control of colours in every print.

    Tldr - it doesn't make sense to use the word color for frequencies outside visible range Although color sort of depends on frequency*, that's only in the visible range. There's no mapping of color to frequency outside visible range. *There are colors like white, purples, black, etc which don't correspond to any single frequency. Colors eye can identify are only 10 million discrete colors, and there are a lot more frequencies and input signal combinations to the eye.

    I never understood why the 3d printing companies never made a color 3d printer using ink and colorless filament. It is a "in your face" solution to 3d printing in color. Meanwhile they tried various methods of mixing different color filaments like multiple heads or one head with splicing different filaments. All extremely complex solutions that can only use several separate colours. When you look at a regular paper printer and all the colours it can use - the solution should have been absolutely obvious. Use ink and inject the colours in the molten filament. Have unlimited colors and no extra cleanup block besides your actual print. And yet - nobody ever did it. I don't understand why.

    tbh I can see them not wanting to as colored inks are crazy expensive (think about the price of printer ink) as well as adding a extra layer of complexity for every print and another thing that could go wrong. Doesn't necessarily stop someone from modding something like that in though, I can see a company selling a accessory peice that does just that. I do recall seeing a older vid that mentioned a machine that melts down scrap filament to make new stock, maybe it would be better to have a system like that for that particular machine?

    @@MissDrawable Yeah, but I'm talking companies creating brand new products to sell and eventually they all failed. Rather than reinventing the wheel, they could have just taken an existing proven technology and just strap it on their printer and they would have a done product. Instead we have this one guy showing us how to color our prints with markers. And everyone still makes the same old fdm printers every year. We could have color printing 5 years ago.

    Maybe you should send this idea over to Stephan to test the strength of the prints! I'm curious if the chemicals in the sharpie affect the strength of the filament, and if giving the sharpie more time to fully dry (by mounting it further) lessens any negative affects. I do know that the solvents in sharpies can negatively affect certain plastics. In fact, I have a lunchbox from when I was a kid and the plastic went a bit brittle, and the place where we wrote my name actually crumbled first! The solvents weakened the plastic a bit... but that plastic was 20yrs old in a storage unit... sooo.. Anyway, this is awesome and I hope to buy a pen blender setup for my new Ender 3 Pro when it arrives!
