They came out great!
COMBAT EVOLVED
While they may not have turned out like you expected they still look good.
If you do end up installing backlights, do share how they turned out.
They look fantastic!
They look amazing! I've always loved the translucent look, never even considered you could dye it yourself. Well done!
You've also inspired me to start calling him 'Mister Chef', best typo ever!
i am so.eone who 3d prints and paints miniatures and just likes making things. dye has never entered my brain. it makes sense but it just wasnt in my universe.. so i gave questions
the first green you bought made sense, it was called idye poly but the black said it was fabric. foes that matter? did you do that on pirpose for mixing?
why do you need an ultrasonic cleaner, is that more about drying?
do you have a resource or a pkace to hang out online to learn more about dyeing?
I would look up the specific material you like to print with and see how it takes to dyes. I don't imagine filament would work super well, but then again you're meant to store them in low humidity containers, so maybe it's hydrophilic enough to absorb the dye?
Resin on the other hand works really well with dye. I don't have much experience with dyeing finished prints, but you can add a few drops of alcohol dye to white or clear resin for some amazing results. Coincidentally I have a master chief helmet that I printed in two parts, helmet and visor; the helmet came out a little too light and pastel looking (used white resin and green dye with a few other colors until it looked right enough), but the visor (clear resin, orange and red dye) is badass.
