I am an inkjet engineer, it is amazing how far you got by just experimenting. To have a fuller spectrum of colours you need to add more inks, starting with white and black. Most inks are formulated so they are transparent as these are supposed to be used on a white medium (i.e. paper). If you want to use it on anything that isn't white you need to add white, preferably before adding any other colour on top of it. Inks (water-based) are also designed to be absorbed by the medium (paper), and this is why you had a problem with dust clogging, as it is not absorbed. You might need to experiment with different filaments to get the absorption higher. I would start with Nylon or ABS as these will absorb, but that will in turn cause problems with print quality. There are however inks out here that are formulated with dyes rather than pigments. You might have better luck with dyes. Pigments will give you richer colours, but these are solid particles suspended in a medium. Every time that ink is sitting idly the pigment separates and sits on the bottom of the container. This is why the tubes might clog up. If you ever used an inkjet printer this is exactly why it cleans so often and consumes the ink even if you don't print anything - it has to get rid of those solid particles before they will clog up the print head. Same here. I would suggest building a secondary loop from the transfer point (here the filament is coloured) back to the ink tank. this will act as a return loop, so the ink can be circulated. you will also need some solenoid valve to open and close that loop. Then you will need a way of agitating the ink in the tank, preventing separation. Some vibrations should be enough, so maybe those use motors from an old console controller. As others have said already, you are dealing with reflected light, this is why you want to use CMYK as the primary colour. Other vane suggested solvent-based inks (alcohol evaporation rather than water) but this can cause other unwanted problems as you will have potentially harmful fumes, especially when heated inside the nozzle. I would also advise you to try better-quality inks. Ink formulation is science on its own, but chances are that more expensive inks are using the better medium, that will adhere better to the filament. Unfortunately the higher price of the good quality ink usually is because of finner pigments used, but this has little effect on your application

100% opacity might not be desired either, though. At least not for the entire print. If he uses an opaque filament for this color deposition then he'll need a second extruder, or similar, for anywhere that he wants transparency, and a second set of ink pumps if he wants transparent colors. Does the amount of white deposited have a significant effect on opacity on a transparent substrate, or will "any" amount do?
@hedeon1979

@@claws61821it does matter, but it is more complicated than that. the opacity of white will depend on the pigment source (usually titanium oxide), pigment desity, and pigment particle size. But in general - yes, white pigment is often used to increase the oppacity, altough this will also change the value (brightness) of the colour.

If you use RGB you might be using _lights_ not pigments, where you add radiations and they sum up to the color you see, like in monitors, it's defined Additive synthesis.

This is seriously fantastic, I think a couple more iterations and this would be VERY viable as a cheap full color printer!! Well done and thank you for putting this out there! :D ADVICE (from a graphic designer, hopefully helpful to anyone interested in making this): -Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow are the primary colors for pigments, plus black, and usually the paper/ground/canvas provides the white color, which in this case would be the filament. CMYK will get you every color you could want in a physical pigment form without looking muddy. light works differently for color mixing and uses RGB as primary colors, which won't mix nicely as pigments. -Using a more opaque white filament will also likely make the color appear brighter, (reflects more light back at the viewer just underneath the coating of colored ink). But it might wash out black ink and make it appear more grayish. I saw some muddy yellows on some figures when you were using yellow inks, and the translucent filament is probably causing it.

Yes it functions just like the pallete! Color switching within a layer might require a small purge but I think it might be a lesser volume than the pallete(an clear advantage). As for the drying issues I looked into using a pla plasticizer as a pigment carrier. These have a higher boiling point than alcohol (by far) so they don't evaporate much. More stable and you could apply this just before the hotend potentially... alcohol might work as well to solve drying issues. Theres a lot of solutions to problems but I honestly just got burned out!

XYZ Printing and perhaps other companies made a color 3D printer by literally adding an inkjet printer to it. After laying down a layer of white, it would use a color inkjet cartridge to spray some color onto the already-printed layer. The advantage of adding color after printing is that you don't have to waste any filament to purge out the color you don't need anymore inside the nozzle. Of course, as an inkjet, it probably has all the usual problems of inkjet printers with nozzle clogging, cleaning, etc.

Like purple have the circuit board program to move the red and blue marker at once so you don’t have to. The only time you need to touch it is when you need to refill it. So the idea is like yours a triangle shape that will have movable joints that when the motor moves the marker will get squeezed in to let a decent amount of ink to flow but not to much on the filament to cause any damage.

All the people saying he "inveted" something. Da vinci already has inkjet printers since years. Using just normal YMCK Colors. They also hold a patent so nobody can build and sell this "idea" commercially. But this guy is nonetheless a real genius, engineering such complicated matter by him self.

maybe try UV curable ink would need to add some sort of uv light before your extruder.

Буквально коммерческое предложение... добавить белый как основа, черный к трём и управление свеху. Зачем нужна радуга, когда можно использовать програмный код со сдвигом и печатать не только модель, но и ее текстуру! Нужно решить много вопросов, но это целесообразно. Можно кикстартер заводить)

put your print after the stepper, the downside is that you'll have to extrude whatever painted filament does remain in it and after that should be clean enough to let it sit like that... but at least the stepper doesn't get all dirty :)

Why don't smaller tubes like 2mm ID give finer control, with faster motor rotation, adding loob should be fine? also they can try vortex chamber to mix the colors, like a spiral of 1cm that creates turbulence in mixing process. try gpt for info about maximizing effiiency of tiny pumps, softer shore hardness tubes etc. myself i found your study invaluable.

Impressive! If you don't get some offers from printer manufacturers, I'll be surprised.

You should seriously consider talking to some 3d printer manufacturers about licensing this from you. At the very least they might kick you $50k to develop it further. Compared to the other kluges for color printing this is a miracle of simplicity and economy. The first printer with this as standard feature will sell millions.

Dude, you just made a proof of concept and this will become a thing in future 3d printers, just wait and see.
