PolyDye Full Color 3D Printer Mod

The PolyDye Full Color 3D Printer Mod brings vibrant, full-color printing to Marlin-based printers by integrating inkjet printing technology directly into your 3D printer workflow. This modification applies ink layers between white filament layers to color your model.

⚠️ Disclaimer: The software is currently in beta, and this repository is not yet complete. Expect frequent updates and experimental features. We will be adding the rest of the files over the next month or 3...

Credits

This project would not have been possible without the contributions of the following individuals and organizations:

1. Jeroen Domburg - For his hack on HP 803 inkjet cartridges where he provided pinouts and sample code that served as a foundation for this mod. A portion of the sales go to his tip jar.
2. Adafruit - Their research and work on hacking the LCD interface of the ESP32-S3 interface.
3. Bianca Mariani - Thanks to my loving wife for putting up with me during the four years of developing this mod, editing the videos and soldering tiny components when I couldn't see anymore.
