3D printer with colors

Hey guys, I'm Jihoon from Korea.

I am university student from Koreatech and I have interested in developing 3D printer.

I'm thinking of making 3D printer with colors.

When I saw the 2D printer - especially ink jet printer,

I thought I can use the ink to paint the 3D printer model.

My lab has Sprout(from Former's Farm) 3D printer and there are 2 extruders.

I'm thinking one for making 3D model and the other for paint.

I don't care about the flow from the model when I finished painting.

From now on, I don't know what to do first.

Help me guys

Thanks.

Somebody has done this with markers-

This is what the Kikai Labs objects look like:



How do you propose to use an inkjet? Let's discuss ideas!

Thanks for the information guys

But I want to spray the ink from the extruder.

I thought using spray to model with the ink will be better quality.

Is it realizable and possible?

Thanks again!
