Coloring Printed Parts

[madjelly]

Seen efferman's thread about his printed parts. Amazing! Parts come out in white, so the obvious concern is how to paint them. Spray painting is an easy method, but provides brittle finish. Better way to apply color would be to dye the plastic. It works great for RC cars' wheels, but I am not sure about temperature tolerance of the printed parts. Maybe someone should find out . Here is a youtube video by UltimateRCnetwork explaining the process. Hope it helps.

That Rit dye will not last long. It fades from clothes after a couple of washes. Grateful Dyes might work better.

printed parts can be ordered in multiple colours, even in real silver if you have enough money
