Application: How to make a desktop 3D printer with full color printing
For 3D printing enthusiasts around the world, getting full-color 3D printing capabilities has always been a dream for many people. Although some of the current industrial-grade 3D printing technologies , such as 3D Systems' CJP technology, can achieve color printing, the high price is not something that ordinary personal enthusiasts can get. A few days ago, at the Instructables of the DIY hot station, a man named Jason Powell shared a method to modify the performance of a normal desktop 3D printer to achieve full-color 3D printing, and the cost is higher than that on the market. Color printers from other companies are much cheaper.
It is understood that Powell used to modify a Rostock Max, which is a popular desktop Delta 3D printer on the market, priced at about $1,000. Although Powell has successfully printed 3D color objects through Rostock Max's modification, he acknowledges that the work is still in progress. He posted a 16-minute video on the video site Youtube, detailing the entire detailed process of converting his Delta 3D printer to a full-color printer, including the three extruders and color printing modes required. The hot end of the gem. Powell reminded fans interested in the project to follow his channel on YouTube, where he will continue to release the latest developments in the project and showcase his implementation of color 3D printed objects.
“I (Rostock Max) was completely redesigned and rebuilt to take advantage of the gem hot end and the new Repetier firmware for full color mixing,†Powell said in the Instructable forum: “Although I am using a Delta 3D The printer implements, but I try to consider its versatility when writing this tutorial so that you can implement it on any machine..."
In fact, despite the limitations of the conditions so far, Powell only implemented full-color 3D printing on a Delta-style 3D printer, but he was quite sure that through his tutorial step by step guidance, an open source Descartes The FDM 3D printer can also print in full color.
Objectively speaking, Powell's DIY project needs to continue to improve so far, but he has already added a little color to the world of 3D printing through his own efforts.
