Topic: Anybody tried spray paint as colorant?
I once saw somebody say they'd use spray paint on white/natural filament before printing if they needed a certain color and didn't have that color of filament available. I tried it awhile back, and it worked, but it left a little bit of gunk on my extruder gear (I might have put the paint on too heavily).
Has anybody tried it with pellets and a Filastruder? I was thinking of trying it, but thought I'd ask if anybody else has tried it first, just in case it caused a huge mess for you to clean up inside the Filastruder. Sometimes when things don't work people don't post about it, so even though there are no posts about it there is still the chance you guys have tried it I figured.
Also, on a side note, does anybody know what is in the powder colorants that makes it stick to pellets better? Mentioned here: http://store.os3dp.com/powders/46-powde … undle.html . I'm saving up wood dust from CNC work (running it through a nylon mesh filter to make sure to only save the small stuff that can make it through the Filastruder filter), and was thinking if I could get ahold of just the part of the colorant that makes it stick to pellets I could try it with the wood dust.
