Filament Colorizer Edding Permanent Marker

cults3d

So my seven-year-old comes up to me and says: it's a shame we can't 3D print in color and why can't we just vcolor the filament before it melts... I love my little Tinkerbell. To my surprise, others have made similar things. This is my version. I don't need crisp colors so a single line on the side of the clear filament will do fine. It's designed around Edding 3000/3300 permanent markers but you could easily make adapters for any other marker up to about sixteen millimeters thick. The adapter has hooks to hold the filament clamped, but I found friction was enough. All the parts have been printed in PLA, a 0.4-millimeter nozzle, 0.3-millimeter layers, two walls, four bottom/top layers, twenty-five to fifty percent infill, and no raft/brim/support.
