The rather complicated modification has a pretty simple purpose \u2013 after every layer that the 3D printer prints, the inkjet head adds a layer of color, creating effectively a colored 3D model at the end of the print. It\u2019s sheer genius, and even though the results are less-than-perfect, there\u2019s something very elegant about the idea behind it.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"961\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-352707\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/20\/modified-3d-printer-uses-an-inkjet-head-to-add-color-to-3d-prints\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modified 3D printer uses an inkjet head to add \u2018color\u2019 to 3D prints\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_1.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"961\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-352707\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/20\/modified-3d-printer-uses-an-inkjet-head-to-add-color-to-3d-prints\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modified 3D printer uses an inkjet head to add \u2018color\u2019 to 3D prints\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>A regular printer prints on a flat surface.

His modification adds a separate color-printing head to the Prusa i3 3D printer. A short demo in the video above shows how, after the filament extruder completes a layer of 3D printing, the print-bed moves forward as if it\u2019s on a factory line and aligns under an inkjet head, which then proceeds to add a layer of color. This effectively creates a \u2018sandwich\u2019 of plastic and CMYK-based inks to create a nifty 3D model.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"923\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-352708\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/20\/modified-3d-printer-uses-an-inkjet-head-to-add-color-to-3d-prints\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modified 3D printer uses an inkjet head to add \u2018color\u2019 to 3D prints\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"923\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-352708\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/20\/modified-3d-printer-uses-an-inkjet-head-to-add-color-to-3d-prints\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modified 3D printer uses an inkjet head to add \u2018color\u2019 to 3D prints\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"e3b7c1bca9ae6e2ec2d56014-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"e3b7c1bca9ae6e2ec2d56014-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While the idea sounds absolutely perfect on paper, the real world presents a few hiccups. For starters, the practice is limited to clear PLA only, and the layer thickness has to be a carefully calibrated minimum. Too much, and there aren\u2019t enough color layers, too little, and you stand the risk of the colors basically bleeding into one another \u2013 something that filmpjeslader mentioned seems to be happening with his current setup. The water-soluble inks from the inkjet printer are transparent too (just like the plastic), which means the result looks translucent and cloudy, instead of opaque. The YouTuber did, however, point out that they\u2019re experimenting with different filaments and inks to arrive at the perfect result.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/filmpjeslader\/featured\">filmpjeslader<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"852\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-352709\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/20\/modified-3d-printer-uses-an-inkjet-head-to-add-color-to-3d-prints\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modified 3D printer uses an inkjet head to add \u2018color\u2019 to 3D prints\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_3.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"852\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-352709\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/20\/modified-3d-printer-uses-an-inkjet-head-to-add-color-to-3d-prints\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modified 3D printer uses an inkjet head to add \u2018color\u2019 to 3D prints\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-352710\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/20\/modified-3d-printer-uses-an-inkjet-head-to-add-color-to-3d-prints\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modified 3D printer uses an inkjet head to add \u2018color\u2019 to 3D prints\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-352710\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/20\/modified-3d-printer-uses-an-inkjet-head-to-add-color-to-3d-prints\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modified 3D printer uses an inkjet head to add \u2018color\u2019 to 3D prints\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/auto-draft\/inkjet_3d_printing_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0;
