The first wave of full color plastic 3D prints<\/a> are starting to appear on the Shapeways forums showing the level of color saturation, material strength and precision that you can expect with your full color 3D prints.<\/p>\n

\"3D<\/a><\/p>\n

Barratomica seems to have the best results so far with his full color plastic flower rings<\/a>\u00a0showing a nice color palette and regular, organic forms.<\/p>\n

Others are having less success with their full color plastic 3D prints including our very own Mitchell with his scale model trains<\/a>. \u00a0The colors in his model are not as crisp with a sligthly faded look to them as Multihawk also found with his prints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see below his full color plastic 3D prints<\/a> look quite faded with some white spots evident on the surface and colors bleeding. \u00a0This may be in part because of the relatively small size of Multihak’s mini figurines<\/a>, it would be interesting to see the exact same models in full color sandstone to compare.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Multihawk also experienced some warping in the thin areas of his small model as did Lensman with his\u00a0Icicle and Stalactite Pendants Models<\/a>\u00a0where the small tips of the pendants were warped. \u00a0These models are also relatively small with a total length of around 5cm and just over 1cm at the widest point. \u00a0From this we may be able to deduct that the parts may go through some thermal shock after the printing process that is introducing this warpage. \u00a0As we learn more about this machine and the post processing we may be able to reduce this warpage that some designers are experiencing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you to all that are sharing their results in the It Arrived<\/a> forum on Shapeways, we really appreciate your feedback as the more you tell us the more we learn. \u00a0Keep them coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
