<p>Here’s a model that allows you to create your own custom filament colors. This process involves printing a model that itself functions as 3D printer filament. You choose the colors to use and they are blended during the printing process to form a single, uniform new color filament. Once printed, this filament can be used just like standard filament to add custom colors to your 3D printing projects!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Note: </strong>This color mixer is designed to produce unique, uniform color filaments, rather than creating filaments with the changing colors and multicolor patterns typical of dual or dichromatic filaments.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>How It Works:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(255,255,255); color: rgb(13,13,13); font-size: 16px">To create your new color, choose from two to four colors to fill the designated slots. Depending on your choice and combination, you can achieve various color effects:</span></p><ul><li><strong>Two-Color Blend:</strong> Achieve a balanced mix by using two colors in a 1:1 ratio, or create a dominant/subtle effect with a 3:1 ratio. For best results, alternate the colors in the four slots.</li><li><strong>Three-Colors:</strong> Mix three colors using a 1:1:2 ratio for dynamic and surprising outcomes. Avoid placing the same color in adjacent slots to maximize the mixing effect.</li><li><strong>Four-Colors:</strong> Experiment with four different colors. This is ideal for specific needs, though it may result in a darker, more muted tone.</li></ul><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000460079/design/2024-05-13_01dff3d232a5b8.png"></figure></td><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000460079/design/2024-05-13_16f8f1af672bf.png"></figure></td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p><strong>Color Mixing Tips:</strong></p><ul><li>Use only one slot for darker shades like Navy Blue or Black to prevent overpowering other colors.</li><li>Light colors, such as light pink or white, are best mixed in a 3:1 ratio with darker filaments to enhance visibility.</li><li>For equally dominant colors, alternate them in the slots for a more harmonious blend.</li></ul><p><strong>Printing Guidelines:</strong></p><ul><li>The resulting filament will appear as if the colors are still separate, but true blending occurs when the filament is re-fed into the printer.</li><li>To avoid adhesion issues, especially with materials like PLA and PETG, consider using a Bambu Textured PEI Plate. Dedicate one side of the plate to each type of plastic.</li><li>Regularly clean your printer bed to ensure flawless adhesion and pristine print quality.</li></ul><p><strong>Explore Our Creations:</strong> See the magic for yourself with <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/136663#profileId-149962" rel="nofollow noopener">LARRY the Tiny Dino</a>, our featured model demonstrating the vibrant possibilities of our custom-mixed filaments using standard Bambu Lab Matte PLA colors.</p><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000460079/design/2024-05-11_bc7db0e6c6235.png"></figure></td><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000460079/design/2024-05-11_10c21f72d1c86.png"></figure></td></tr><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000460079/design/2024-05-11_5f5ffe335267e8.png"></figure></td><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000460079/design/2024-05-11_4431a7548b5e88.png"></figure></td></tr><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000460079/design/2024-05-11_9f3a50f4ff7c88.png"></figure></td><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000460079/design/2024-05-11_8338251e448918.png"></figure></td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>Happy Printing!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Check out these other custom filaments you can make: <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/438259" rel="nofollow noopener">  Tricolor</a>   <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/446943" rel="nofollow noopener">Quad-Color</a>   <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/477652" rel="nofollow noopener">Stratified</a></h4>
