Rather than mixing filaments together, you can print models with two different colors applied on to the same model. It also means you can print soluble supports (PVA for PLA, or HIPS for ABS) that can be easily dissolved afterwards for stunning models without any of the imperfections you can get during normal post-processing.

FDM currently offers one method for full color 3D printing. This involves using a colorless filament, with each area dyed during the melting and extruding process to deposit full color 3D parts.There are two types of color wheel. The RYB or red, yellow, blue color wheel is typically used by artists, as it helps with combining paint colors. Then there is the RGB, or red, green and blue color wheel, which is designed for online use, as it refers to mixing light – like on a computer or TV screen. Canva’s color wheel is an RGB color wheel, as it is designed for online use. Color combinations Complementary

Mosaic Manufacturing has stormed the industry recently with their revolutionary Palette color 3D printer filament splicers, turning any desktop 3D printer into a multi color 3D printer able to print models in up to 4 different colors or materials. It’s a 3D printer kit that you’ll have to assemble yourself, but does not take much DIY skill. The building process involves just 3 fairly simple steps, and the structure design is based on the Prusa for stability and quality. The Geeetech A20M is accurate, with up to 0.1mm accuracy, and also versatile in the 3D printer filaments it can use, with the ability to print not just ABS or PLA, but also wood-filled filaments, PVA, HIPS, PETG and more.Just a decade ago, the thought of a color 3D printer in every home would have sounded like delusional madness. Even single-color 3D printing on basic 3D printing machines cost thousands of dollars unless you built an early RepRap 3D printer. If you thought the A20M was neat, the A20T takes that even further. Instead of being able to mix 2 colors, the A20T can mix 3, with the 3-in-1 mixing capability able to combine 3 different filament colors to create multi-colored 3D prints that look amazing.
