From research team, fast Color Printing with MK4

link to video: >> fastcolorprinting  <<

looks very fast color change inline without stopping

 

Best Answer by Tim Weston:

Look at the video carefully!

What you are seeing is an already printed object with two colours being overprinted with a black layer. The video is reversed to give the impression that the colour layers are being printed.

You can even see the outline of the coloured shapes beneath the rest of the black layer.

Cheers,

Tim

AH, AH: Good joke!!

I think you are overlaying the colored layer with the black and playing the video backwards !!!

Looks like a fake. 
Probably the filament is some kind of multicolor filament which has been prepared especially to get this effect.

Eagle eyes, but first the effect looks good?

I think more a case of ‘if it looks too good to be true then it probably is too good to be true’.

Imagine of 3D printers could print colours like that, and at that speed - the printer loads the filament at the right time so its in the tube and approaching the nozzle at the exact time for swap over - how awesome would that be!

To actually do this is similar how the Mosaic Palette works, no?  Creating a strand of filament with the color changes in-line?

Yes and no. The Mosaic Palette splices multiple filaments as required (up to 8 with the Palette 3 Pro) so you get a continuous multi-colour single filament feed. However even the Palette requires a 'transition' tower to purge filament at the colour transition points. Without that, the colour transitions will be less well defined.

Cheers,

Tim
