Full color FDM printing without multiple spool or addins

So you have to use their filament because it's chipped. I've seen some prints from the SD card that are vibrant, but ones where other designers colored their models it looks a bit washed out. So there must be adjustments you have to tune in to get that vibrant color. Also, I saw one designer take XTC (sp?) and coated the colored part. That helped with bringing out the color and smoothed it out nice. It's an interesting direction. There are some youtube videos on first impressions out there. Curious to see where this goes for final release.

 

The claim is that color changes will be almost as quick as they are on a regular inkjet printer. Which ought to be faster than the current purge-pillar color switching, but not as fast as, say, a color laser printer.

Having the ability to support proper full-color and gradients will be fun for the people that are fine with printing in PLA all the time though.

Nylon might be trickier depending on how hot the hotend on that machine can get and how well the surrounding components will take that increased heat.

 

The "funny" thing with that brand though is that they're hurting themselves with it... They have a reputation of their consumables being of poor quality, and since you can only use those kinda renders the otherwise pretty good and affordable printer not worth it.

Looked at them some time ago and for both their FDM and SLA printers there were many reports of people hacking the filament chipping and saying it printed much better even with material half the price...
