Actually, if you post, then get the image URL from the attachment preview page, then edit the post and add that between img tags, you can embed attachments... imgur is blocked at my work, so I miss all the pretty pictures you guys post!

Looks great! If you host with Imgur/Dropbox, you can embed the images.

Sorry for the delay in getting results up. I am extruding the orange and silver into PLA this week. The green has been tested in PLA and works but I will print the same set of cubes for PLA. Here are some samples of the new colorant in ABS.

Sounds good!

I will get some photos of prints. No ABS shown but it does work. Temps stayed the same. The percentages to mix in are shown on our website. Today I turned both extruders on, just did a bit of ABS to make sure and then let them run for hours on PLA and the flex filament. I then checked over all the filament and cut it in half to check inside every few feet. You are right though, I am going to pull it down for today and print with it first but after talking to some plastics engineers it shouldn't be a problem. I left the office a little early today to catch the USA game so tomorrow morning I will print with a bit of each.

I was hoping for photos of prints. Its pretty easy to hold color over a few inches of filament.

Photos? Extrusion temperatures/speeds? Datasheet?

I never had much luck with universal masterbatch...

hey guys,

We added green multi purpose colorant to our store. It has been successfully tested with ABS, PLA, and our flexible filament pellets. All new colors we purchase will be multi purpose. We had a few requests for colors and I believe we will be adding silver and orange multi purpose colorant in a little over a week. The green is available now though. It really makes PLA coloring as easy as ABS. If there are any other color requests let me know. We will carry whatever the community wants.
