This seems the actual future of color 3D printing. Filament manufacturers will develop increasingly better translucent filaments and 3D printer manufacturers will seamlessly integrate the method on the printers.<p>I have a Bambu P1S with the multi filament upgrade, and while great for several motives (keeping 4 spools at hand dried and ready), I never use it for actual multi material printing due to it’s slowness and wasteness.
I recall seeing a similar idea to this on a 3D printer that used sheets of paper for the layers. It would (workflow from memory) print with high saturation on to a stack of paper then drag them in to an aligned stack while cutting the layers out using a drag knife and gluing them. I wish I could recall who made the thing, but it was quite impressive. Main target use case was architectural work.
This is similar to the RizeOne, I have one. Tjmhe company went under but they're still supported by some suppliers.<p><a href="https://www.dynamism.com/rize/rize-one.html?srsltid=AfmBOoooC7wbqTLks-YZFrdNGZ000az4x4esliLHYHuh2goybBSqb30a" rel="nofollow">https://www.dynamism.com/rize/rize-one.html?srsltid=AfmBOooo...</a>
Great project. This seems to be bringing the technology of the DaVinci Color [mini] printers from XYZprinting to the OSS world. Those 3D printers were quite expensive.
Very interesting step. I wonder what will become the standard for color 3d printing. Mixing 3 base colors in a mixing chamber probably will waste a lot of purge filament.
Is it possible to use this as an alternative 2D paper printer as well? Or is the position granularity too large?<p>Asking as there's been many discussions over the years desiring an open source paper printer and while this would be a rather slow and cumbersome approach it could be useful for those who do 3d printing a fair amount and print to paper on rare occasions.
That's cool, and certainly more accurate than blending filament.<p>Anyone have data on layer adhesion?<p>(I have a spool of Royal Blue Prusament that has the worst layer adhesion ever, for some reason. Fresh in my mind. :)
