我们提出了一种用于低成本多色熔融长丝制造（FFF）3D打印的新系统，允许使用预处理方法创建可定制的彩色长丝。我们开发了一种开源设备，可以使用永久性标记自动为灯丝上墨。我们的设备可以使用3D打印部件和现成的电子产品制造。附带的基于Web的界面允许用户查看多色打印的GCODE工具路径，并快速生成灯丝颜色配置文件。采用预处理方法使该系统与市场上的大多数桌面3D打印机兼容，因为处理后的长丝与传统长丝没有区别。此外，油墨长丝可以经济地生产，减少了为扩大颜色选择而过度购买材料的需要。我们证明了我们的系统的功效，通过制造单色对象，对象与梯度颜色，对象与双向属性，以及多色对象与多达四种颜色在一个单一的打印。
We propose a novel system for low-cost multi-color Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing, allowing for the creation of customizable colored filament using a pre-processing approach. We developed an open-source device to automatically ink filament using permanent markers. Our device can be built using 3D printed parts and off-the-shelf electronics. An accompanying web-based interface allows users to view GCODE toolpaths for a multi-color print and quickly generate filament color profiles. Taking a pre-processing approach makes this system compatible with the majority of desktop 3D printers on the market, as the processed filament behaves no differently from conventional filaments. Furthermore, inked filaments can be produced economically, reducing the need for excessive purchasing of material to expand color options. We demonstrate the efficacy of our system by fabricating monochromatic objects, objects with gradient colors, objects with bi-directional properties, as well as multi-color objects with up to four colors in a single print.
